to those deserving

Thanking all those who have served, both past and present, living and deceased, for your unwavering altruism. I, for one, am forever grateful.

My sentiments as well.

This says it all. Nothing more to add but "Thanks for your service".

And remembering those - killed, scarred, maimed - who
didn't do it for altruism but because they were told to.
RIP

They acted responsibly and accepted authority. The price of freedom then and now
is military victory which has always involved the loss of our blood and treasure.

What service? Killing in the name of Washington-driven corporate colonialism?

Nothing to be proud of there.

Only in the eyes of the ignorant. Some people have to make the ultimate sacrifice to keep your lot cowering under the bed safe and free.

Military victory involves the loss of your enemy's blood.

11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month
commemorating the end of the Great War.
The one where USA lost about 50,000 men
French West Africa lost about 50,000 men
and France and UK lost about a million each.

I had the humbling honor of meeting John Mims... World War II veteran, former prisoner of war, and a survivor of the infamous Bataan Death March. Google if you don't know of him. Everyone should.

Politics aside.

Recognize bravery, honor, service and sacrifice.

It is alive and well in our great nation and many other nations as well.

A belated Happy 240th Birthday to our USMC.
Semper Fi 🙂
