Thank you so much for that. I can't believe it was on Free Republic tonight. Today I was searching all over the place for it and couldn't find it. Then all of a sudden it appears on Free Republic. It's such a powerful speech and I am going to copy and print it out for my refrigerator. Thanks again so much. You don't know how happy you made me!

Fox News Channel has aired this letter a number of times.

A rarely-mentioned reason why The Marines are so admired.
Millions of guys who would never admit it, would trade in their college degrees,
professorships, and CEO titles...
if they could have been tough enough to become a Marine.
