I don’t know what the Asian text says, but I concede your victory
Your mastery of the Pun has wounded my brain, I surrender. Or something like that.
In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled Is there interest in my creating a table of US Marine Veterans? To ALL US MARINE VETERANS, THANK YOU!, redfreedom wrote: It appears Marines are either few in numbers or are very reserved to participate in anything public.
This observation is based a Honor Flight to Washington DC. There were over 170 veterans on the same airplane and out of that number there were only two Marines. There have got to be more Marines than that.
Additionally, when out in public I take notice of those wearing veteran’s caps. It’s typically Army,Army, Army, and occasional Air Force. Then there is a rare Navy. But rarer yet is Marine.
For those veterans not aware of Honor Flights, I suggest you look up your local organization. They give free flights from your state to the District of Corruption. We toured the memorials for all branches of service, the Capital Building and other sites. Most of us agreed the most impressive site was the Marine memorial of the troops planting the flag on Iwo Jima. Second most impressive was the Korean War memorial. Least impressive was the USAF memorial. For Vietnam vets, you will see that wall, which in my opinion should have been as good as the Marine Corp or the Korean War Memorials, but is not.
Everything is free for the Honor Flight including air fare, hotel in Arlington, meals, tickets etc. All you have to pay for is travel from your hometown to the airport in your state where the plane departs. And possibly a hotel in that city in your state.
