Thanks for the ping, Johnny. This is really awesome! Makes you just burst with pride to know that these are our young people! Wow. This does a lot to restore my faith and confidence. God Bless our military...God Bless all those young men and women who have pledged themselves to protect our nation. God Bless their families who have given so much up so that we can remain a free nation.

Thanks for the vidoe. I'm forwarding the link along with my Thanksgiving email messages to family and friends.

This was a real two-Kleenex job for me.

Bump!

Excellent! I learned a long time ago, that indeed we are protected by someone 24 hours a day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, it doesn't matter. Our service personnel are protecting us and our country. Thank God for our country and Thank God for our Marine Corps.

Hey Tea the few, the proud and the brave always on duty.

Saw a local interview with a bunch of Marines two weeks ago before deployment to Persian Gulf. The reporterette asked if they're gonna miss their family, one Marine turned over and said "we hate to wait, let's take care of business and do our job ma'am"

You just have to love these young guys... God bless our troops.

[Teacup]

I do love our Marines. I've been married to one for 14 years. We're retired now (one year) but as they say, once a Marine, always a Marine.

Thanks for the pings. I'm getting an error when clicking on the link. :-(

Are you using internet explorer? It works better than Netscape, I think. Good to see you! Hope you had a great day! :)

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Misty, good to see you, too. I used both, IE and Netscape.

Someone please help me figure out how to open this. I just waited 70 minutes to download this, and now it won't play. Very sad...very sad... Can I tantrum like my 4 y.o.?

[ScholarWarrior]

It worked about 8:15 est. My guess is that the entire world started downloading it and the USMC got overwhelmed. Their entire site is down.
It's worth the visit . I would suggest trying again tomorrow.
Sorry I didn't save it when I had the chance. Cheers.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks so much for the info. I'll try again tomorrow.

Yep! I watched the thing using employer's T-1 access(after hours=legit) between 6 and 7 pm CST. When I got home to show family members, it was down. RIGHT NOW, most of my plain "www.usmc.mil" links are "HTTP 404 - File not found"....Other USMC links not having "www.usmc.mil" in them worked(i.e.

http://www.hqmc.usmc.mil/hqmcmain.nsf/frontpage and
