"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem."-- Ronald Reagan

"A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in... and how many want out."

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:

1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom. If you are not going to back our TROOPS then please STAND in FRONT of them.
