This will make you proud!

I'm a Viet Nam Vet (USMC 1964-1968}

There is a web-site I would like for you to take a look at. It honors a
U.S. Marine who recently received the Navy Cross for service in Iraq.
Please send the link to everyone you can. I think that this type of
recognition of our soldiers is important.

Please pass it own!

Ben Silver Ties

they make ties in the pattern of many medals and service ribbons. I've bought one for a good friend who got a silver star in 1967. We'll be giving it to him on veterans day at church.

They make the Vietnam service ribbon pattern too.

My thanks to all of you for serving.

Thank You

Thank you for your service in Vietnam. It's because of people like you that we are able to have hobbies, and not have to be constantly searching for food and shelter.

Thanks Sharpe for your service to this country and to all of our Veterans past and present.

Wow! This guy was a real action hero. He deserves that medal and a lot more. Of course he won't receive the accolades he deserves when he returns but then again this has been a trend since after WWII. Korean War vets got nothing, Vietnam War Vets got less than nothing---just contempt and our Soldiers now are just ignored.
Thanks to all who served and have served. I really think about what a difference they made. The world would be a different place if these fine men refused to go to all these places and fight for what is right. When I was younger I might not have thought so but time and realization set in. I wish it had set in sooner so that I could have thanked my father in person rather than wondering why an only child would give up a part of his life to serve when he could easily have gotten out of it.
I can say thanks to you though Sharpe. You went in and did your share when many ran like hell to get out of serving. It would have been easier than getting shot at and made fun of when you got home but you went anyway. Anyone who goes into that knowingly is a hero.

Regards to all,

J

This sure fits our Hero!!

WHAT IS A MARINE?

WE WALK THE WALK AND TALK THE TALK

WE LEAD, WHILE OTHERS FOLLOW.

WE HAVE WALKED THROUGH THE VALLEY,

WHERE OTHERS FEAR TO GO.



WE HAVE SERVED WITH GIANTS

AND FOUGHT ASIDE HEROES.

WE ARE WHAT OTHERS STRIVE TO BE.

WE HOLD THE HIGH GROUND.



NAY WE ARE THE HIGH GROUND



WE ARE UNITED STATES MARINES!

UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS...THE CHANGE IS FOREVER!

OK

Let's keep it clean in this thread, gentlemen. If we want to debate the politics of Bush's military service, then start another thread. This thread is to respect Captain Chontosh.

Roger... I hosted that link and your prayer request on The FC.

Any more, please let me know.

Thanks,

I have goose bumps and chills just reading the story. Thanks for posting it. I'm proud to be associated (peripherally) with the Marines. Ooorah and Semper Fi.
