I put this here because I know this is an active thread....

please pray for my dear oldest brother who is sadly dying right as we speak....

he was in the 3rd Marine division in Nam and suffered the last several yrs with Parkinsons, plus he was at Lejune....

he developed a bad pneumonia and has been on the vent.....

family is going to let him go in peace....

lets remember the sacrifices our guys have suffered...endless wars for one...

he did the right and patriotic thing and joined up as a very young man and he did very well in life and has got a good, successful family....

but he's just 75...in my mind that is far too young...his life was cut short due to Nam.....

as far as this election, and our lives here on earth, we really can only rely on God to save us....

pray....

I lost one brother last year to the covid protocol and now this brother, who I know begged me to get vaxxed....the vaxx does harm your immune system and I am sure that contributed to his severe illness....

our families are diminishing and I don't like it at all...

Prayers up for your brother!

Today is the anniversary of the founding of the Marine Corps so if he is able to hear it wish him a Happy Marine Corps birthday from a fellow former Marine.

Sadness is only temporary, have faith you will see him again when the day comes.

So sorry Cherry! My husband’s younger brother was in the Army and passed from ALS. Terrible disease.

Even though my husband is 84 and it’s time for him to decline, I suspect a lot of his past illnesses came from his time in the Army in the 60’s. He was a drill sergeant, jump instructor at Fort Benning GA, firearms instructor, and spent over a year on the DMZ before NAM. He trained the guys for NAM. You won’t find him without his cap that says Korea Vet or Army Vet on it. People ask him why he volunteered to go and he always says, “that’s what real men do”.

He chose not to take the vax so that’s probably why he’s still kicking. I’m sorry about your brother.

VETERAN
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America,” for an amount of “up to and including my life.”

That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it."

Cherry - I get so sad when I think about the suffering endured and the waste of the lives of those who put their trust in a government that became untrustworthy.

Sending those responsible for the suffering to hell for eternity just doesn't seem like enough for what they've done.

May God take your brother under his wing while comforting those he leaves behind.

Sorry to hear about your oldest brother!   My condolences.

My dad died far too young as well--at 68. He had been a Prisoner of War under the Japanese.

He would always say the Japanese POW system was purposely and straightforwardly a meat grinder. It took in POWs, got whatever it could out of them work-wise, every day fed them fewer calories than they were made to expend, then had them be buried in shallow, SE Asian graves along nondescript paths.

Only after his autopsy did we hear that he died of pancreatitis. From 1984 he'd been on every kind of dialysis yet devised by his death in 1990. He had non descript pains the docs could never narrow down or identify, until the autopsy.
