Oh my goodness. Such men, such warriors are our Marines. When I think of the 4 Marines in TN murdered unable to defend themselves, my heart hurts and my blood boils.

When I cant admire Marines anymore Ill know we are finished. Theyre no choir boys. They arent all perfect. But most of them know what being a man, a patriot, a warrior and all the good stuff.

No truer friend, no greater enemy.

Tradition. Its what is right.

Thanks Marines. Dont let us down.

Brother warriors always...linked through perseverance, commitment and tradition. A bond that can't be explained or broken. And the determination to do what is right.

Tearing up here. BTTT

Tough to keep a few drops from leaking out of the eyes on this one. Honor must be earned.
