This month marks the return to school for many here in the US of A.
For the parents it might be a blessing, as they struggle to make ens meets,
For some it might mean money for tuition and uniforms, if that's the dress code for a school.
Some schools adopted uniforms as a way to fight gangs or the wearing of gang colors.
That also brings up the worry, that some youngster or young men, might go off and do acts, too horrible to imagine.
Its a parent's worst nightmare.
Where did we or the nation go wrong?
With that question, I will now close,
Semper Fidelis

" Duty is the most sublime word in the English language.
"Excellence doesn't just happen.
"To control the past,
"They were the best you had, America,
and you turned your back on them". ~ Joe Galloway ~ Speaking about Vietnam Veterans HONOUR THY SERGEANT AND THY CORPORAL:
You can take the man or woman out of the Corps,
You can never do more,
you should never wish to do less."
~ Robert E. Lee writing to his son ~
It must be forged, tested and used.
It must be passed down.
And woven into the very fabric of our souls.
Until it becomes our nature."

31st Commandment of the Marine Corps
Is to give meaning to the present,
And direction to the future."
THAT THY DAYS MANY BE LONG UPON THE CORPS
But you can't take the Corps out of the man or woman!
