Americans Love Our Marines
Red Devil 232 | 2-6-08 | Red Devil 232

Posted on 02/06/2008 6:51:08 PM PST by Red_Devil 232

I have posted these videos on the other threads in responce to the Berkley anti - Marine stance. It is a recruting commercial put out by the Marine Corps. The first link is to the commmercial. The other links are to videos of the locations where the film was made. They have interviews with the Marines and with the Americans who love and respect them. Take some time and watch a few and don't blame me if you feel good!

This is a quote from Debbie lee

Our military defends your freedoms and has written a blank check to you and your city and every American and they have told you to fill in the cost of that freedom up to and including the cost of their lives and you are telling these people they are not welcome in your city? How dare you!

Please at least watch the first video. The others are just as inspiring!

Yes they were denied to shoot in SF. So they went to a point owned by the American people and proceded to their duity. Protecting those who would be against them.

Thanks for the ping...I look forward to watching all of them.

Stupid Pinko freaks at Berkeley. THEY are the ones that need to be run out of town...not the Marines! The Marines are trying to keep their sorry butts free and safe. Sheesh!

In September 1967, the squadron returned once again to MCAS El Toro and painted the Red Devil insignia on their new McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantoms. Re-designated as Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 232, the squadron returned to MCAS Iwakuni, Japan, as a MIG-alert squadron and subsequently deployed to Da Nang, Vietnam, and Nam Phong, Thailand. Here they continued to fly air-to-ground sorties in addition to playing a key fighter role in Operation LINEBACKER missions over North Vietnam. The only "last" in VMFA-232's history occurred on 1 September 1973, as the Red Devils became the last Marine squadron to leave Southeast Asia.

Check this out; here is a letter a businessman wrote to the Mayor of Berkeley. Is this a great country or what?

Dear Mayor Bates,

In that you and your city have chosen to gravely insult the brave men and women, who have indeed bought you that right with their blood, I am informing you that my company will no longer do business with any of our current suppliers located in the Berkeley,
California metro area.

In that my company is in international resort real estate development, and do business with and am associated with, developers and investors worldwide, I am informing all of my contacts, associates and patrons that we will no longer do any business of any sort with anyone
living in the Berkeley area.

In that we/MDG Resorts are currently building a state of the art mega-yacht marina, all of the suppliers of Marina equipment, all owners of Yachts, all suppliers of Yacht materials & supplies, all yacht brokers and all tangential yacht business purveyors will likewise be
informed that we will not do any business whatsoever with anyone from the Berkeley area.

Likewise all suppliers of building materials, both interior and exterior, currently associated with any of our several resort developments (Brisamar 300+ villas and 200+ condos:
Porto Hussong, www.portohussong.com 500+ condos, 180 slip mega-yacht marina) both of which I might add have international recognition by virtue of glowing reports in Robb Report, Wall Street Journal, Yacht World, Forbes.

I will likewise inform all of our investors, most of whom are very wealthy yacht owners, casino owners, high net worth international businessmen, of our decision to essentially boycott all products and providers located in, or associated with in any way whatsoever, Berkeley,
Ca.

Trust me when I say that having been in the real estate development business for over 35 years, our
list of contacts and associates is long and very, very impressive. We, and I personally, are going to
recommend that they ALL along with us boycott your city, its purveyors, suppliers, and businesses and CHARITIES of every kind.

You have every right to choose to take the obnoxious anti-military stance you have taken, and as stated, that right was bought for you with the blood of better men than you.

I too have every right to do all that I can to insure that your city suffers consequences arising
from that obnoxious, sickening stance.

Cordially,
