True, of course - but Corps history is ingrained in every Marine, and relished..:))
All brave acts are remembered, and shared, and part of all links in the long, unbroken chain.
Esprit de Corps is alive and well, and always will be....
TC feels this deeply, and is as much a part of his fabric as it is mine, and why he is able to keep fighting with such confidence.
Even if he (or I) succumbs, it will not be for lack of trying, or because the cancer/whatever "wins;"
but because God wants us 'Front & Center' in His Perfect Plan for us.
We walk toward the edge of the cliff knowing God will catch us when we finally step over it.....
Time for my beauty sleep, EG - -
hugs and kisses for Missy V..:))
Of course. Everyone succumbs eventually, but some just quit trying, others go down fighting. Marines almost always are of the latter type.
My condolences for the loss to terrorist set IEDs (although apparently not all that Improvised) of your (and my!) Reserve Comrades from that reserve battalion. That had to be especially hard on the folks in the state/region the battalion is from
