I stopped at a truck stop in South Texas yesterday.
As I was paying for a cup of coffee, I noticed behind the counter a full shelf of plates commemorating the Iraqi Freedom conflict, all with emblems of our military.
As I walked down the row I saw the Army, the Navy and the Air Force seals, but no Marine Corps.
I was a little pissed when I asked the clerk, "Where in the hell are the Marine Corps plates??"
She said, "Sorry, sir. We can't keep 'em in stock!"
True story, but I don't mean to turn this into a rivalry.
As y'all know, I love 'em all!
MAY GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE!

(64,999,987 firearm owners killed no one yesterday. Somehow, it didn't make the news.)
As one who survived Viet Nam, I can tell you that if not for the Air Force air support, the Army artillery and the Navy Corpsmen I would not be here today. We may kid each other but deep down inside we love and respect each other immensely. Semper Fi
