Ready to fight,
Ready to kill,
Ready to die,
but never will!
Happy Birthday Marines! I will definitely be tipping a few back tonight in honor of US.
Semper Fi!

Proud member of the Marine family! My grandson's father is over there now, 1st Battalion 2nd Marines:
Here's his "toy"; he's getting in some good shots:

Hey! I want one of those!
Ask him what gun shop carries those!
I guess you'd better ask him where I can get an ammo reloader, too.

TC, I meant for the poem post to be for this thread. I'm sorry I messed it up.
To: TexasCowboy
Thanks! And I'll have lots of time to study and get ready, won't I?
You really did a bang up job on this one TC. Nana says we'll wait for the CD for the rest of the lessons though 'cause since we're on dial-up, it takes a REALLY long time to load.
Enjoy your day .......

The Old Marine
The old Marine marched
in parades
on Memorial Day
The Fourth of July
and Veteran's Day
In heat, in rain, in pain, he went,
held formation, moved his feet high
when the drum did roll,
walked like a Marine,
talked like a Marine,
until... the day he died.
He was proud he served his country well
taking shrapnel on one campaign, always
living with the pain
rarely ever did he complain
when on his knees he
would crawl...the pain
too, much for him to stand tall.
Jaw squared, head high, march the steps
carry the rifle, salute the flag
every mindful he was a Marine.
In his casket he did lay
in full dress that sad day
his uniform pressed and sharp
this Marine did depart
to a far better land he did go
in fields of flowers he will stroll,
meet his mother, and receive
his well done son,
you where a Good Marine.

That is beautiful, bentfeather!
Like the story goes, "Marines never die, they live on the hearts and minds of those who come after."
I'm convinced that they put something in the water at San Diego and Parris Island. We get infected for life with the love of the Corps and everything it stands for.
