US Marine Corps - The Leathernecks

Why did Romney "forget" to mention either troops or veterans EVEN ONCE at the Conventioon (RNC)?
Why does Ryan's so-called PLAN seek to slash veterans benefits, oppose jobs for vets, and cut V.A. health?
Vets Served

Mbandi 911 tributeThis is a song I composed. I would like to dedicate it to all the Heroes of 9/11 and the families of Fallen Heroes as well as to our men and women in uniform.
Out of the rubble, we stood taller than ever. And forged ahead with hope and determination.
To find and defeat the enemy ~ Our brave men and women endured the pain of war . . . . . . And many made the ultimate sacrifice.
Let's not forget the unsung heroes: the families of our warriors.

"We have real enemies in the world. These enemies must be found. They must be pursued and they must be defeated."
President Barack Hussein Obama


Freedom isn't 'free'

YES, National Defense requires a crucial proportion of the budget. And taxpayers do their part.
But, "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it." (Tom Paine)



One of the fondest expressions around is that we can't be the world's policeman.
But guess who gets called when somebody needs a cop. (Colin Powell)


Regarding Vietnam, "We did not choose to be the guardians of the gate, but there is no one else." (Lyndon Johnson)


no
no veteran left behind



What to teach the younger generation:
To love their neighbor as themselves, and their country more than themselves.       (Jefferson)

Thomas Sowell, the Economics guru, joked about his own Marine years that he was not a very good marine. (grin) They finally found him a job that suited him, more or less (and he says he was too damn stubborn not to stick it out).
