Stranded Marines fight to last bullets

Sometimes you have no idea till it hits in your back yard. I have had personal contact with one of these Marines and I will tell you that he is a Marine through and through and even though severely wounded, will recuperate and stay a Marine. This incident shows what our young men are made of and their steel and temper is unparalleled. To let each of you know, Lt Ayers will survive to be a Marine another day. I am his father-in-law and no one could be more proud of a son than I am at this time. He and his men are truly my heroes.

"Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if they have made a difference in the world. Marines don't have that problem." Ronald Reagan

The following slides depict Lt. Chris Ayres U.S.M.C. as he spoke to a League City, TX Republican Women's Club. The handsome Marine hero began by saying he was speaking for himself he did not represent anyone else. He told his personal story than taught the ladies to do a customary Marine response; The Marine Corps (phonetically spelled) “ooh-rah!” “It often is barked when troops want to voice approval or a sense of esprit de corps. Its full meaning is primal and difficult to define, he explained it also echoes the hardships faced by those in uniform.

The deep masculine sounding “ooh-rah”; Ok, well maybe not so deep or masculine with this group, but still the ladies were soon “ooh-rahing” with the best of Marines. Lt. Ayres then led the group to an outside area as part of
his presentation teaching them about observing your surroundings.Techniques of looking at the world around you were presented to teach the group a little of what this combat hardened marine infantryman had to do to survive in a hostile environment of good guys, bad guys, all of whom looked and dressed alike. A comment over heard "Wow! I will never walk mindlessly to my car again."
