My grandkids wanted to make sure the guys and gals that are protecting us know how much it's appreciated:

"My grandkids"

God Bless them and their Patriotic Spirit
Looks like some good old fashioned US Marine blood flows thru their veins!

[COB1]

Tonkin, I've been watching the latest developments with a lot of dismay.
I could grow to hate Colin Powell's "coalition"!
When we turn our back on Israel for the sake of a coalition with people who will stab us when they get the chance, we're headed down the road to disaster.
I'll repeat what I said on Sept. 11:

Anyone who thinks ANY Muslim will be a friend to a Christian nation when their Muslim brothers are being bombed is a complete idiot!!
I've lived among them; I know of what I speak!

MAY GOD PROTECT ISRAEL !!

"Looks like some good old fashioned US Marine blood flows thru their veins!"

LOL! If I can get one out of the two to MCRD I'll be thankful!
It looks like it will be the girl!

Good to see you, old partner.
I've been out of touch lately trying to put together a page for the Marine Corps Birthday, but it looks like my work schedule is going to interfere with the completion of it.

I had no bets on the game, but I am so glad the D-backs won, YAHOOOOO.

Sunday evening bump. I'm sure you're a proud Grampa, COB1.

"Tonkin, I've been watching the latest developments with a lot of dismay"

I feel the same way.
Viet Nam and Colin Powell are a sore point with me also.
But I am not going to say more, as it is the President's call.

Marine Corps Birthday = Nov 10th!

[swheats]

Tonkin, say it ain't so, that Fox News has problems in the reporting. We'll have Fox News on the 15th of this month, I'm sure they will be a breath of fresh air compared to MSNBC and CNN.

"May God's blessings be upon you and your loved ones...may He hold you in the palm of His hand."

There's something else we agree on, Mercuria!!
AMEN !!

[COB1]

"Marine Corps Birthday = Nov 10th!"

LOL!
Yeah, I know, but I have to go back to work on Nov. 6, and I'll be gone two weeks.
My neighbor, who is also an old Gyrene, brought over a big globe and anchor pin today for me to put on my hard hat.
I'll wear it proudly on Nov. 10.

Some of my "patented", fresh-ground, ULTRA-strong coffee is ready.........steaks marinating for two days in a mixture of red wine (a fine merlot), soy sauce, various (fresh) spices that are a secret............the Weber's fired up, ready to kick off some 2" thick medium rare ribeyes. Butter-sprayed, fresh asparagus ready to go on immediately after the steaks come off for a charcoal heating........baked potatoes underneath atop the glowing coals, wrapped in heavy foil, blanketed inside with butter, dried onions, and garlic powder; will all come out with the asparagus. Sauteed mushrooms ready for prep inside; sliced, ingredients for sautee ready, stove fired up and set to go at a moment's notice...........tossed salad on the side with lots of fresh lettuce, tomatoes, scallions, small orange slices, sliced red onion. Various dressings. All set to go. Red wine put away 'cause the troops are on duty, but we'll fill 'em up with the best meal they've had since leaving home.

Now step back when I lift the lid on this grill........don't want that smoke in your eyes. Smells heavenly, but can irritate the eyes.............
