My son is jazzed, he gets to go to his first birthday ball.

I look forward to your presentation as well, Publius.

The inferno ignited in August 1914 has by no means been extinguished - its full consequences have yet to be realized. After seventy or eighty years of facing totalitarian regimes both fascistic and communistic, we are now faced with the reemergence of militant Islam as a global force after several centuries of quiescence.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

WW1 was the set-up for today’s “difficulties”.

Good evening, LUV

Thank you! :)

Good evening, Lurker, and thanks for the Rifleman’s Creed.

I remember my Dad telling me about a time when he was in boot camp in early 1943. Something about an inspection and handing his rifle to the “inspector” and, per him, the inspector didn’t get control of it and it hit the ground. He said he had to live with it, never leaving his side, 24/7.

Good evening, Luv!

*HUGS*

Thank you very much - much credit goes to Kathy for this thread. I rely very heavily on her advice and expertise for most if not all of my Canteen threads.

“Semper Fi, Mac”

For those that do not know, Mac was a favorite nickname used among Marines during WWII.

“Mac” is the acronym for “Marine Amphibious Corps”

1914 is not at all different from 2014 - great technological advances - in the same - or at least a very similar - geo-political morass.

We could use some leadership in you know where - I will say no more in deference to the non-political directive on this thread.

Good evening, Proud Marine Mom...

Sheesh, Ma, I guess I moved to the wrong side of the Cascades...suppose to be 12 degrees Tuesday night

Gorebull warming is here!

Oooops...”Non-Political Directive”?

Sorry...I stray in that regard. Mea Culpa.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thank you, Douglas, for your service to America.

[ConorMacNessa]

You haven't gone over the line, ML - In fact, you haven't even approached it. It was I who was getting close.

Happy Birthday, Marines!

I dance on the line.

I’m the Nick Wallenda of political commentary! hahahahaha.

[luvie]

Well, between the two of you, it is a splendid effort to honor our Marines!
