Before I was born, my Father was in the Pacific. When I was a year old he was in Korea. When I was in junior high school, he was in Vietnam.
He died two years ago, but I know he is watching over our Marines in Irag and that he believes in them and the cause they fight for.
Thanks Dad

Soldier rest, Gently pressed,
To the calm, Mother Earth's
Waiting breast;
Duty done, Like the sun:
Going West.

God bless you and your dad. May he rest well until we all are together in the afterlife.
As a single representative, I humbly submit the USA owes your family so much.

From the halls of Montezuma,
To the shores of Tripoli,
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea. First to fight for right and freedom,
And to keep our honor clean.
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine!
My favorite verse:
If the Army and the Navy
Ever gaze on Heaven's scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
by United States Marines!
Your dad didn't die...he reported for duty!
God Bless you and yours.
