Thank you Gunny for the devotion and your love of Country & Corps....: Feb 8, 2011


THE WALL Standing here in front of the Wall silently reading your name Solemnly I thank you one and all Each of you different, yet the same The list seems forever endless but I remember your faces You made the supreme sacrifice, I confess as I walk slowly with measured paces Each one of you answered the call Willingly or not, you gave your lives Rest easy, my Brothers - heroes all The Nation still survives "War drew us from our homeland In the sunlit springtime of our youth. Those who did not come back alive remain in perpetual springtime -- forever young -- And a part of them is with us always." --- Author Unknown --- God Bless you Marine ike
