I will be retiring from the Marine Corps next year. Although PFC Turner is not a Marine (no one is perfect) he is a fine example of the courage and mettle of the men who continue to answer this nation's call. I will hang up the spurs, so to speak, but I will do it with confidence in the strength and ability of the young men and women who will take my place and stand on the wall.
May our gracious Lord continue to bless this great nation and her fine sons and daughters.
I am retired navy and have always had an admiration for the Marines, even though I use to kid and dog you guys alot when I was in. Watching FNC last night, talking about the Marines clearing out Fallujeh(sp). I told my wife that knowing what I know about the Marines and if was some scumbag holding up a building or compound, and was told that the Marines were coming in to clear it out, I would just give up and save myself from being shot up.
