What a genuinely sensitive human being you
are. Thank you for being born and for being
such a great gift to humanity. You couldn't
have posted a more appropriate response in
such a time as this--and all to show what a
marvelous wit and sense of humor you have.
Please tell you parents and your family "thank
you" from all of us. If you EVER need anything
from any of us, please let us know. I'm sure
we all are grateful that you would simply call
on us to meet the needs of one of the great human
beings of the world.

Thank God for the Moderator. I was about to be profane in a personal attack there and threaten some violence.
Thank you Moderator for helping keep me on the good side.

I respectfully disgree with him, he was indeed a hero. I've never seen that photo before. God bless and keep him. He's finally back with his wife in a better place.

I remember watching, live on TV, the homecoming of the first group of POW's from Vietnam. I sat there and just cried for joy the entire time, after laughing at what the families of the soldiers did. If I'm remembering correctly, after having to listen to some politician bloviating for a bit, one of the POW's had to make a statement, but while he was doing that, the families just started running for their husbands, fathers, brothers, and sons. It was a wonderful chaos, and exactly what those men needed.

Marines are not soldiers. Only true in a very narrow sense. I always find it awkward to hear Marines called soldiers, but in only a slightly broader sense of the word, they are.
Besides, the modern Marine Corps functions as light assault infantry. They don't stand in the halyards and fire muskets at the capt'n on the deck of the enemy ship.

"I always find it awkward to hear Marines called soldiers" Me, too. That's why I posted what I did. Ain't trying to be snotty or nuthin. The average person may not know that. Since I was both a Marine in the USMC and a soldier in the U.S. Army, I have a little bit of knowledge on the subject. Marines shouldn't be called soldiers any more than sailors or airmen are, no matter what their function was.

Thank you for you post.....but this fellow was a U.S. Marine,
not a soldier. I mean no disrespect to the U.S. Army, but the
marines are a department of the U.S. Navy. Once a Marine always a Marine.
God Bless this fine Marine and his family....Semper Fi(Always Faithful)

Marines are not soldiers. Thank you for pointing this out to me. I have learned something new. I have the greatest respect and appreciation for all members of our armed services and always wish to address appropriately.
