GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS & SEMPER FI!!!

I'd like to meet:

Jesus, Any of our Troops, Reba McEntire, Tim McGraw, Patrick Swayze, and my Soul Mate!My American Soldier.... He's my American Soldier and I don't even know his name. Somehow I'd like to let him know that I love him just the same. He's hot, He's tired and he's hungry. I hope he hears my prayer. He's my American soldier. I'm the reason that he's there. He walk's the streets of Baghdad with a weapon in his hand He's my American soldier; He's there to protect my land. Sometimes he sleeps a little but he really doesn't rest. He's My American soldier He's doing his very best. I think about him often and pray to God above, "He's my American Soldier protect him with your love. "Please build a shield around him and let him know I care. He's MY American Soldier; I'm the reason he's there."Author: Unknown

My heroes are Jesus Christ! Then my Brother ROY (a Marine) & our Troops,My Dad & Mom,and My Sister Julie (Dudley). My children(Brandey,-20, Corey-24,Dalton-9,Dylan-7), my step children(Talma-25,Joseph-21,Brandon-16), & my stepGrandbabies(Dayton-5,Carson-4,Jalieha-3,James-3).,I say this because with out all of these I would not be who I am and where I am today!!! I thank God for all of my Heros!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Tribute to the USMC....I support all branches of our military and respect and honor them all. They are, in fact, all "brothers" and "sisters" to us. This is dedicated to all Marines and their families, and especially, my Marine Brother. Being in a Marine Family (Grand Father, My Dad, My Brother) has taught me to respect and be proud of this unique group of warriors. It is a honor for me to have Family members in the Marine Corp's!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~What is a Marine? Marines have fought battles around the globe: places such as Belleau Wood (France, June, 1918), Wake Island (Pacific Ocean, October 1943), island of Iwo-jima (Japan, February, 1945), Chosin Reservoir (Korea, November - December, 1950) and Khe Sahn (Vietnam, 1962-1972). They demonstrate a devotion to duty, self-sacrifice, reliability and loyalty to our country and the Corps. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A Marine does not join the Marines - he or she becomes a Marine ... Many try to get into the Corps, but only those who survive the crucible of Marine basic training (which develops each Marine in mind and body) will become Marines. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Once he or she has earned the title and entered the Brotherhood of Marines, a new Marine must draw upon the legacy of the Corps. Therein lies his/her strength. In return, the strength of the Corps lies in the individual Marine. The character (often defined as "what you are in the dark") of these warriors is defined by the three constant Corps Values: honor, courage, and commitment: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Honor: Honor requires each Marine to exemplify the ultimate standard in ethical and moral conduct. Honor is many things; honor requires many things. A U.S. Marine must never lie, never cheat, never steal, but that is not enough. Much more is required. Each Marine must cling to an uncompromising code of personal integrity, accountable for his actions and holding others accountable for theirs. And, above all, honor mandates that a Marine never sully the reputation of his Corps. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Courage: Courage is honor in action -- and more. It is moral strength, the will to heed the inner voice of conscience, the will to do what is right regardless of the conduct of others. It is mental discipline, an adherence to a higher standard. Courage means willingness to take a stand for what is right in spite of adverse consequences. This courage, throughout the history of the Corps, has sustained Marines during the chaos, perils, and hardships of combat. And each day, it enables each Marine to look in the mirror -- and smile. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Commitment: Total dedication to Corps and Country. Gung-ho Marine teamwork - "All for one, one for all." Commitment is a combination of selfless determination, and a relentless dedication to excellence. Marines never give up, never give in, never willingly accept second best. Excellence is always the goal. And, when their active duty days are over, Marines remain reserve Marines, retired Marines, or Marine veterans. There is no such thing as an ex-Marine or former-Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine. Commitment never dies. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Being a Marine is more than just having a sharp appearance, discipline, drill, and knowing how to use weapons and equipment. It is a way of thinking and being that few can emulate. A Marine has survival instincts - whether it be long nights with little sleep or "humping" long distances with a heavy pack in sub-zero climates. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There's something about a Marine I just can't put my finger on. Perhaps it is the repeated, intense physical and tactical survival training that gives Marines that inexplicable amount of "intestinal fortitude," determination, strength and courage. You can almost always tell if a someone is a Marine just by looking at the way they carry themselves. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My goal here is to honor the men and women of the United States Marine Corps (as well as ALL our armed forces) for their sacrifices, hardships, and devotion they unselfishly give day after day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO! Semper Fi! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. Happy Birthday U.S. Marine Corps! November 10, 1775 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Marines' Hymn ............. From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, We fight our country's battles In the air, on land and sea. First to fight for right and freedom, And to keep our honor clean, We are proud to claim the title of United States Marine. .................... Our flags's unfurl'd to every breeze From dawn to setting sun; We have fought in every clime and place Where we could take a gun. In the snow of far-off northern lands And in sunny tropic scenes, You will find us always on the job The United States Marines. ...................."Here's health to you and to our Corps Which we are proud to serve ; In many a strife we've fought for life And never lost our nerve. If the Army and the Navy Ever look on Heaven's scenes, They will find the streets are guarded By United States Marines." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle!" General John Pershing, US Army ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I have just returned from visiting the Marines at the front, and there is not a finer fighting organization in the world!" General Douglas MacArthur, US Army ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The more Marines I have around the better I like it!" General Mark Clark, US Army ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I can never again see a United States Marine without experiencing a feeling of reverence." General Johnson, US Army ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The safest place in Korea was right behind a platoon of Marines. Lord, how they could fight!" Major General Frank Lowe, US Army ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Excerpt from President Ronald Reagan's March 4, 1987 speech, dealing with the Marine Barracks Bombing in Beirut, Lebanon: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "...May I share something with you I think you'd like to know? It's something that happened to the Commandant of our Marine Corps, General Paul Kelley, while he was visiting our critically injured Marines in an Air Force Hospital. It says more than any of us could ever hope to say about the gallantry and heroism of these young men who serve so willingly so that others might have a chance at peace and freedom in their own lives and in the life of their country. I'll let General Kelley's words describe the incident. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He spoke of a 'young marine with more tubes going in and out of his body than I have ever seen in one body. He couldn't see very well. He reached up and grabbed my four stars, just to make sure I was who I said I was. He held my hand with a firm grip. He was making signals , and we realized he wanted to tell me something. We put a pad of paper in his hand - and he wrote "Semper Fi." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, if you've been a marine or if, like myself, you're an admirer of the marines, you know those words are a battle cry, a greeting, and a legend in the Marine Corps. They're marine shorthand for the motto of the Corps - "Semper Fidelis" -- "always faithful." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ General Kelley has a reputation for being a very sophisticated general and a very tough marine. But he cried when he saw those words, and who can blame him?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ " SEMPER FI " *******************************************************
