We're proud of you, Marines, Army, et al. The picture breaks my heart, but I'm glad they seek the wisdom of a Higher power.

There is an old Marine Corps saying ....
but looking at the picture of brotherly love - and given the context of this thread, and out of respect for a fallen fellow Marine -
Semper Fi
Greater love hath no man than he that gives his life for another. This is a picture that expresses pure devine love.

I suppose the ACLU will be upset about this too. But screw them. Marines pray when they want!
To: Grig
Thanks for your valiant service, unknown hero.
Makes quite a contrast to the cover photo on John Kerry's anti-Vietnam book, doesn't it?

This young brother is now in a place of peace and safety, with a large number of his brothers that preceded him..
May he rest in peace, and may his family feel the gratitude of two nations... America and Free Iraq.
Perhaps, one day -- the Iraqi people will erect their own wall of fallen heroes...
Onto that wall they should inscribe the names of every non-Iraqi that come to liberate them and to set them free.
Perhaps, one day....
Scenes like this, memories like this -- only amplify my deep hatred for the demagogues and political whores in this country that are more concerned with political position than they are with National Security or doing what is RIGHT.
Shakespeare had it wrong..... FIRST, Kill all the Leftists and Liberals......Then the lawyers that come to their aid.

May God bless them all.
This must just frustrate the hell out of the ACLU. Of course not all of it, just a tiny smidgeon of it.

My thoughts exactly!
