Mothers, your sons and daughters fight for you, and for their country. Your sons and daughters love you. Your sons and daughters wish only for what we have wanted since our conception. We wish to make you proud.
Go get 'em!!

Wow. What a beautiful letter. Our Armed Forces are the best in the world. I have a lump in my throat now...
Thanks for the bump, Sabertooth

Aww heck...
Here at the office, hoping no one will need me for a few minutes, not until the redness has passed from my eyes.
A hug Bump for the Marines.

Yes, it is a "lump in the throat" letter, and CHIEF's Post #11 from whatever thread it was, was also a lump in the throat, whoever reposted it here.

Nice it is.
But tan your hide I about had an accident in my britches when I saw post 11. I hadn't even looked at the date!
I was fixing to chew someone out for absconding with that screen name.
I hope nobody can ever register with it again.

thanks for bumping this.
I know the Chief read it and bumped it and I thought that was one reason this thread would fade away.
Glad to see it didn't completely disappear but just regrouped.
Please send the LCpl some motivation mail. I think his letter is awesome!
Semper Fi!

Thanks for the ping. I admire these military men so much it makes me cry. Not one of our enemies is worth one hair on our service men's head, not one hair.
I know I could never do the Presidents job, I would be causing a world wide scandal nutron bombing those flea bitten mongrels back into atoms rather than risk a son of America, and that would probably cause more than a little trouble world wide.
What a hard thing to have to face. And I think every day of our President sitting in the White House knowing he is a target in his own home, and yet dealing with all that with such courage. We all draw inspriation and courage from his leadership.

A long and somber ping to our departed but never forgotten.

I just started reading this thread, so perhaps you have found your quote. This one says it all:
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined." (Patrick Henry)
