Thank you for giving me more credit that is due. The AM Legion and COL Lopez did most of the heavy lifting. And GOD made it all fall into place including the PERFECT day for a rally.
John and Linda, you and Ashley and Meghan are such a beautiful family; not to mention the rest of your tribe!
Noting the poster you're holding, John, assure Brian and his parents he will be receiving daily prayers from this Marine of another generation - the Korean Conflict.
(Click on my screen name - LadyX - to see my history)
The Long Chain is strong and sure, and will never be broken, each Marine inbued with Corps Spirit and love of all Brothers and Sisters - those before and those following.
Last April I took my grandson (17 now) to Parris Island to see the issuance of the Globe & Anchor to graduating Lima Company, and I'll swear I felt just as I did 50 years earlier when I trod that ground - and when I led the parade for the Dedication Ceremony of the Iwo Jima Monument on the Parade Deck there.
Poor Kyle was within an hour begging me to slow down! LOL
It is wonderful to see the ground swell of support for our troops all over the country.
Thank you for being there, and you, Colleen, for all you do here and for our Republic.
Yes - God is the One in charge, and the key to all successes...
My son in law a member of the clan as well and I would have been but the recruiter was out and I wasn't waiting.
Go Army!
This Marine will shortly turn into a pumpkin at the stroke of midnight,
dragged to bed by a dozen tiny mice..:))
Colleen, it has been such a delightful day getting to know you and your family better.
God bless each and every one of you,
and bring Brian and all our warriors safely home.

Good night, Walsh Family - -
This will be remembered. :-)
Good night, Miss Sausages. I'm so sleepy.
