Happy Memorial Day 2018

christopherules

I just wanted to wish all of y'all (& your families too) a most Happy Memorial Day for 2018. I am an 11 year USMC Veteran, & I always do get a bit emotional over the reason that we have this particular holiday, & it's meaning/significance. We STILL (today) all live in the greatest country that there is anywhere on the planet, and a LOT of people have died for us throughout our nation's history for it to continue to be that way. Anyway, have a GREAT day today y'all.

Thanks to @pgjackson @tymoon31 (who I know served in the military) @christopherules and anyone else I missed or didn't know. It is much appreciated by this civilian.

And remember the VA. Demand it be funded and staffed by excellent leaders. Not doing too well.

Thanks bud, just remember who this day is really about. I have the fallen 9 of 3/6 I'm drinking for today. Firing up the smoker as soon as the rain lets up enough to get it goin. Everyone have a blessed day and remember those that laid it down on the lines to keep that evil over there and not here. And GO DAWGS!!

Id rather them scrap it and give us private insurance. I use my company insurance instead of going through the incompetentcy of the VA.

Just want to share these names of the warfighters we lost.

@tymoon31 there really aren’t words here. I’m so very sorry for their loss (to their wives, girlfriends, & especially their mothers too, & all of their brother Marines) & I’m getting just a bit too.... must be a lot of dust in this room I’m in here??? My eyes they are a watering. Happy Memorial Day. Have one for Dan Daily, Chesty Puller, & all of these fine individuals here too! (They’d want that, & you KNOW that’s true!) “time for some LIBBO baby!!!

@tymoon31 PS - The Lance Corporal IS the backbone of the Marine Corps!
