That was a fun time.

Let's see here. Marines helping those in need of a hand. Liberals are no where to be seen. The Clinton's "used" the Marines to serve food. The liberals hate the military (don't let them try to say otherwise).

Hillary needs to have a complete exorcism if she is to have a snowballs chance in her home town, hell.

I volunteered for Special Olympics when I was stationed at Camp Pendleton. We had a great time. One of our tasks was racing the wheelchair bound kids. Most could not push their chairs themselves so needless to say it became a Marine vs Marine drag race, Gosh!! did those kids hava a ball. I will never forget the looks on those kids faces after the drag racing er... uh... Special Olympics. I've been a Special Olympics volunteer ever since and always enjoy it.

Semper Fidelis
