“Old Glory”

Tribute to the flag

I have seen the glories of art and archietecture; and of river and mountains.

I have seen the sunset on Jungfrau and the moon rise on Mount Blanc.

But the fairest vision on which these eyes ever rested was the flag of my country in a foreign port!

Beautiful as a flower to those who love it, terrible as a meteor to those who hate it, it is the symbol of the power and the glory, and the honor of the millions of Americans.”

Senator George F. Hoar (1826-1904)

Welcome to my Hooah Blog.

My name is Perry Keating and I hope you enjoy my website on Hooah things.  As for me, I was born at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, into a long line of super-patriotic, dedicated troopers.  My grandfather, father, great uncles, uncles, brothers, and brothers-in-arms all spent time serving in the United States Armed Forces (mostly U.S. Army).

Personally, I spent almost 16 years in the U.S. Army and U.S. Army Reserve and had the great fortune to meet and work with some of the world’s greatest troopers.  After college, I enlisted in the U.S. Army and eventually recieved my commission as an Second Lieutenant in the Corps of Engineer in 1988.  After both active and reserve duty, I finally “retired” but never gave up my love of the red, white and blue and those who serve it.
