The “Don’t Mess with Texas” slogan began as an anti-litter campaign with its debut during the Jan. 1, 1987, Cotton Bowl game. Since that day, which saw my Aggies fall to Ohio State 28-12, the slogan has grown to mean much more to many in the Lone Star state.
Saddam Hussein must not have received the memo.
I also love the graffiti. This picture comes from Jeff at Midnight In Iraq.
Hat tip for this image goes to the Tanker Brothers, who also mark today as a sad but noble reminder of the cost of war when they bring us the incredibly touching words of a father as he details his son’s final return home. Go and read. Please.
Thank you, SGT Mike Stokely, for your service and sacrifice, and my best wishes for peace to Robert Stokely on this, the anniversary of his last car ride with his beloved son.

I’ve been in contact with Mr. Stokely for a few weeks now, and he has made a huge impression on me.
God bless the Stokely family, and God Bless SGT Mike Stokely.
Thanks for helping us get the word out.
