All Star Shout Outs…

Just want to send a late shout out to two of my of Dot Rat All Stars. First up is US Army Calvary Scout Colin McCarthy. I haven’t seen this savage since my July 4th party a few years back but, as you can see, he’s 

Dot Rats on watch!

Gotta take a moment to give a big shout out to three of Dorchester’s finest currently serving in the Marines.  Before I do, I would like to acknowledge some others folks. As we all know there’s nothing more honorable than serving your country. To wake

I knew the military was in transition….but it’s truly amazing how fast it happens. Check out the first successful launch of an unmanned X-47B aboard the USS George H.W. Bush today.

This signals a new chapter in our Navy’s history.

Bravo to the amazingly brilliant service members and civilians who made this possible.

When you see a display like this….and you know each one of these flags represents a fallen soldier….stop for a second and at the very least think.

This weekend is not just the beginning of summer!

 

Dotrat.com would like to send our thoughts and prayers out to all the families associated with those 33,000 flags and the volunteers who gave us such a powerful reminder of those who gave their lives for Massachusetts and our country.
