This country was built and held together by men of courage and honor like Paige, Basilone, Chesty and so many others who came before and after them.
Now we have communists, wimps, perverts, girly-men and traitors running the government, plundering the country and befriending our enemies.
These are sorry times.

OMG! Paige was a handsome man! I’m surprised that they didn’t try to make him a movie star!

Seemed to me it was.
I could be wrong.

Beautiful story.
Every time I read something like this, I just want to jump up and shout about how proud and grateful we should all be that we had men like this to defend us.

One Marine, One Ship

You should consider a tour of duty with the Marines. We have many who performed just like Sergent Paige. Well, my former son-in-law (marriage annulled, TG) wasn't one of them. I still wonder about his discharge. He changed his name. Thankfully, there are real heros out there.

My dad was US Navy voluntarily attached to the 1st Marines on Guadalcanal at the ripe old age of 18, He never talked about the War till the last few days of his life. When he finally did, I realized he had his reasons, war is hell. God Bless all our military and the job they did and are doing. I am almost glad he and Mom passed away a couple of years ago before they could see what our Nation is coming to. I hate to see their efforts betrayed.
