“And you honestly think you can ever make a difference?
They represent the majority of the American people.
They’ve won.
Why do you bother?”

I pointed some of this out to my son over time... For some reason, he felt it was worth it to join the Marines, and he ended up giving his life. He made a difference while he could. Now it’s up to the rest of us, if it’s worth the bother.

Thank you for raising a patriot who left this world a hero.

I am ashamed of these Code Pink people and how they dishonor his memory and the service of his brothers in the Corps.

It is worth the bother. Not only that, people from all parts of the world understand what America is all about. See this link and enjoy. Because of your son, and many more like him the torch has been passed on. We must never forget that.

I will point out that in 1775 those who favored self governance were a minority as well. British loyalists were greater in number, and the bulk of the populace was apathetic. The situation hasn't changed, and can still be overcome with the same sacrifice and perseverance.

Semper Fidelis.

Thank you, sir, for your family’s sacrifice. It was not in vain.
