Was the "Ex-Marine" line actually part of the articles' title?
What if they said a "registered Democrat", or mentioned what race he was? What does the branch of the armed service he served in have to do with anything???
Marine eh???
reminds me of Full Metal Jacket, with R. Lee Ermy telling the recruits about how good of a shot marines are. Like Charles Whitman(I believe that was the 'Texas Tower'sniper)and Lee Harvely Oswald.
Dad was a Marine and he went on to be a peace officer for 22 years in the 'Four/One', Fort Apache in the South Bronx...how come he never got a headline..."Ex Marine risks life, protecting bodegas in the Bronx.....feeds his family too boot, after risking life on Guadlecanal and Bougainville"
No, I added that so someone scanning the threads would have more information as to who Williams is and therefore might be interested in the thread rather than passing it by. "Williams Returned to Tyler" wouldn't grab my attention unless I remembered the kidnapping of Megan Holden. I was attempting to give some clue as to who "Williams" is rather than just "Williams returns to Tyler." And I shopped at that very Wal-Mart yesterday afternoon and thot of that poor girl most of the time I was there .. in mid-afternoon.
As a friend of Megan's family, let me say that after Williams family was on national TV, they have insisted that he was not the same (sane?) person he was prior to his time in Iraq. Getting set up for an insanity plea?? What do you think?
