Isn't it great to have in office now
another Commander-in-Chief we can respect??

[JustAmy]

Definitely my kind of lunch. Is it too early for a couple with a diet Dr Pepper?

[lodwick]

Go for it. ;-)

[LadyX]

As a conforming diabetic, my favorite cold beverage is a glass of crushed ice with Diet Dr. Pepper poured over it - and 'eat' it with an iced teaspoon!

The rationale is it lasts longer, pleases the palate and helps the 'water' requirement for the day, all in one.

Also halves the 'zero' carbohydrates..:)))
LOL

[Diver Dave]

Thank you for another great weekend message. Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corps.

Thank a vet this weekend.

For those not living near a military installation, take the time to drop by an Armed Forces Recruiting Station next week and thank those folks for serving our country. They deserve it.

[Diver Dave]

I had a GREAT time FReeping with the FResno FReepers last night.

Can't figure out why my car has the aroma of cedar?!?

[JustAmy]

Good Morning, Diver
What a great idea ...... Thank a vet today and everyday. If you know a vet, give him/her a hug!!

[JustAmy]

"Can't figure out why my car has the aroma of cedar"

I thought it might smell like wet wool. LOL
BTW .... you looked good last night. Thanks for doing us the honor of wearing your uniform.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARINES!

IN THE BEGINNING...

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God.
In the Beginning was God - and all else was darkness, and void, and without form.
So God created the heavens and the earth. He created the sun, and the moon, and the stars, so that light might pierce the darkness.
And the earth God divided between the land and the sea, and these He filled with many assorted creatures.

And the dark, salty, slimy creatures that inhabited the murky depths of the oceans, God called sailors, and He dressed them accordingly.

And the flighty creatures of the air He called airmen. And these He clothed in uniforms which were ruffled and fowl.

And the lower creatures of the land, God called soldiers. And with a twinkle in His eye, and a sense of humor that only He could have, God gave them trousers too short, and covers too large, and pockets to warm their hands.
And to adorn their uniforms, God gave them badges. And He gave them cords. And He gave them ribbons... and patches... and stars... and bells.
He gave them emblems... and crests... and all sorts of shiny things that glittered... and devices that dangled.
When you're God, you tend to get carried away in a big way.

And on the 7th day, as you know, God rested. And on the 8th day at 0730, God looked down upon the earth and was not happy.

GOD WAS NOT HAPPY!

So He thought about His labors, and in His infinite wisdom, God created a divine creature and this He called a Marine. And these Marines whom God created in His own image, were to be of the air, the land, and the sea. And these He gave many wonderful uniforms.

He gave them practical, fighting uniforms, so that they could wage war against the forces of Satan and evil.

He gave them service uniforms for their daily work and training, that they might be sharp and ready.

And He gave them evening and dress uniforms. Sharp, stylish, handsome things, so they might score with the ladies on Saturday night, and impress the hell outta everybody!

And at the end of the 8th day, God looked down upon the earth, and saw that it was good. But was God happy? No!

GOD WAS STILL NOT HAPPY!

Because in the course of His labors, He had forgotten one thing... He did not have a Marine uniform! But He thought about it, and thought about it, and finally satisfied Himself in knowing that, well, not everybody can be a Marine...

U.S. MARINES

ROUGH, TOUGH, ROMPIN', HELL RAISING, DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.

THE FINEST FIGHTING MACHINE THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN. EACH MOMENT THAT I LIVE IS AN ADDITIONAL THREAT UPON YOUR LIFE.

I'M COCKY, SELF-CENTERED, OVERBEARING, AND I DO NOT KNOW THE MEANING OF FEAR FOR I AM FEAR ITSELF.

"SEMPER FIDELIS" ALWAYS FAITHFUL TO GOD, FAMILY, COUNTRY, AND CORPS.

SEMPER FI - DO OR DIE.

I AM A LEAN, MEAN, GREEN, AMPHIBIOUS MONSTER MADE OF BLOOD AND GUTS WHO AROSE FROM THE FIERY DEPTHS OF HELL, WHOSE SOLE PURPOSE IN LIFE IS TO PERPETUATE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION UPON THE FESTERING OF ANTI-AMERICANS THROUGHOUT THE GLOBE, WHENEVER, WHEREVER IT MAY ARISE.

AND, WHEN MY TIME COMES I'LL DIE A GLORIOUS DEATH ON THE BATTLEFIELD, GIVING MY LIFE FOR MOM, APPLE PIE AND THE AMERICAN FLAG.

WE STOLE THE EAGLE FROM THE AIR FORCE, THE ANCHOR FROM THE
NAVY AND THE ROPE FROM THE ARMY.

ON THE SEVENTH DAY WHILE GOD RESTED, WE OVERRAN HIS PERIMETER, STOLE THE GLOBE AND WE'VE BEEN RUNNING THE WHOLE SHOW EVER SINCE.

WE LIVE LIKE SOLDIERS, TALK LIKE SAILORS, AND SLAP THE HELL OUT OF BOTH OF THEM.

WARRIORS BY DAY, LOVERS BY NIGHT, PROFESSIONALS BY CHOICE, AND MARINES BY THE GRACE OF GOD.

[LadyX]

Simply awesome reminder, Cobby, remembering vividly scenes like this in Fox Movietone Films at the Saturday matinees as a child.

Everyone you knew had a relative or friend or neighbor in some theater of the war, and the battles in the south Pacific were especially horrifying - the Marines set the standard for bravery and tenacity and prevailing at any cost.

God Bless all those who served - or serve now.

[lodwick]
