To answer the question - where do they get young men like this? They are right in front of us and we see them every day. They are the young men and women in high school that are looking for direction, looking for a challenge, and the right thing to do, but instead our media shows them how to be selfish and unpatriotic. They are the police we see every day that risks their lives for us. They are the firefighters that ran up into death to help people during 9/11. They are called ignorant rednecks whom barely graduated from high school, and yet they maintain the planes, ships, vehicles, and tanks that enable us to move decisively and win our objectives. They are mocked as the ugly Americans, yet always answer the global 911 call whenever another nation in the world is threatened. They are the same men and women that get paid 15 to 20 grand a year, that work 18-20 hour days, that are stationed in forgotten hell-holes of the world, and yet are the most energetic and positive people you want to meet. They are the same people that our educational and media elites sneer at with disdain and yet because of them and what they have done throughout our history, we enjoy a freedom that has never been known in the history of this world. From the boot camper whose job is to maintain military records and also clean out the head to the young Marine becoming old too fast as he fights against madmen in the Middle East hiding behind women and children, these young men and women are patriots and heroes. As long as there is an United States of America, there will always be young men and women like this. I am proud to have served with them and I am proud of them now. I have more respect for them and what they do, then for those who safely sneer at them and bad-mouth this country. May God bless all of them and may He watch and protect them all.

"...They are, quite simply, Marines. And they reflect the goodness, the richness, this magnificent band of brothers, they are the face of America. I am so proud of and so very grateful for these sons and daughters.

Semper Fidelis.
Also, I can tell you where they don't find men like that. That's in places like Ivy League schools, Bezerkley, etc.

I wonder why he calls himself "Lt Smash" though. Does anyone else get the reference? (I do)

A minor correction if you don't mind: "As long as there is a United States of America there will be men like these?" I say "As long as there are men like these there will be a United States of America."

"As long as there are men like these there will be a United States of America." HOW VERY APTLY PUT! And as long as we have "cowboys" like President Bush our nation will remain strong, resolute and united for the betterment of all.
