He just returned from his second tour in Iraq last week and I was able to talk to him from his home in Hawaii last night for the first time in about six months.<BR/>I've spent a lot of time with him and his fellow Marines since he first joined up back in 89'. They are some of the best people you would ever have a chance to meet.

One of my first loves was a marine. <BR/><BR/>Watched on hbo last night, "Taking Chance".. what a touching true story about a marine colonel who decides to accompany the body of a marine home. had me in tears the whole time. As much as I support what we are doing, you have to wonder if they deserve the blood of our honorable, men and women.Incognitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692949516037191969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15092616.post-54389998527798474162009-02-26T22:24:00.000-06:002009-02-26T22:24:00.000-06:00excellent tribute to the Marines....Great music......excellent tribute to the Marines....Great music.....stay wellTaplinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00161842191574184492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15092616.post-86786659835198661782009-02-26T18:33:00.000-06:002009-02-26T18:33:00.000-06:00Thanks for the heads up, Skunky.

As gripping a true-story read as you'll find, especially for a Marineophile ;) Therein, you'll find epics within the epic, including the immortal words of Lewis "Chesty" Puller, uttered during the campaign: "We've been looking for the enemy. We've found them. We're surrounded. That simplifies things".<BR/><BR/>USMC, all the way.Skunkfeathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563552997319253167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15092616.post-2284884400768139572009-02-25T20:30:00.000-06:002009-02-25T20:30:00.000-06:00Chosin Reservoir?
