With the recent passing of singer Whitney Houston (1963-1012) we take a look back at our favorite hits by this legendary artist: The Star Spangled Banner (1991): Performed Live 1/27/91 At Super Bowl XXV - only Mariah Carey's version comes close.

Attached please find the responses I have received from our Marines deployed to Afghanistan.  Our gifts mean so much to them, all these little bits, snacks and personal care items that they can not get their hands on.  I wanted to shar...
