Im going out of town tomorrow, so I thought I would send out my birthday wishes to all my brothers today. I am proud to have earned the title, proud to have worn the Eagle Globe and Anchor, and proud of the storied history that I was so privileged to be a small part of. Happy 235th Birthday Marines!
RJ and the rest of the "Frozen Chosin"... I am honored to have followed Marines like you. "The safest place in Korea was right behind a platoon of MARINES. LORD, how they could fight!"
MAJ. GEN. FRANK LOWE, U.S. ARMY "Panic sweeps my men when they are facing the AMERICAN MARINES."
CAPTURED NORTH KOREAN MAJOR "So they've got us surrounded, good! Now we can fire in any direction, those b*****ds won't get away this time!"

My favorite Marine.......  Subject: 29 Palms Combat Training I have heard talk about Twenty Nine Palms and the realistic training conducted there, but this is the first video that I have ever seen showing what the guys actually go through. Most Marines and soldiers go to Twenty Nine Palms before going to Iraq or Afghanistan. Now you can see why we have the best trained Marines and soldiers in the world. At 29 Palms, upwards of 900 actors at a time are used, some of whom are Afghan Americans. Training IEDs are used and wounds are graphically simulated. There are even actors with amputated limbs who portray injured Marines. The training is extremely realistic. When completed, the training facility will have in excess of 1,200 buildings and will be larger than 29 Palms itself. It's quite different from when training consisted of crawling under barb-wire with machine gun fire overhead and thrusting a bayonet into a make-believe enemy. WARNING: The scenes are quite graphic. < http://tinyurl.com/2e5pmme > A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, signed a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" , for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it. -- Author Unknown

I'm proud to have followed and served with some great Americans, to a man, everyone was a Marine. A US Marine is truly someone that is willing to kill and be killed to protect America and our way of life. Semper Fidelis.

Another WWII veteran passed away. My dad passed away yesterday. He was on Palaeu and the second invasion of Iwo Jima.
I was always so proud to be his oldest daughter. He was a proud and humble man.
Rest in Peace, Marine Semper Fi
We will take good care of Mom.
Love you so much, Your daughter, Kathryn

Sorry for the loss of another great American hero, and a great father as well Kathryn. Now he'll stand guard at Heaven's gate. |
