The coming of spring, mother nature awakens those that been asleep.
Some come back from parts where they went to escape "old man winter".
It should be a time of rebirth.
Its that to the animal kingdom.
Its only the top of that system.
Who looks to a renewal of fighting and killing.
Some have never stopped killing.
Using that as a way of policy.
Yet in the end they will windup talking peace on a peace table.
Why don't we start wars at the peace table than work our way back to our disagreements.
We all the same at birth, the rich, poor,educated,uneducated.
None is better than another, its just our upbringing that influences how we act and think.
Some learn hate while other learn love and tolerence.
We must get rid of hate with love and tolerence.
If we don't, some where down the line we will wipe ourselves along with those now celebrating the renewal of mother nature.
This planet is as much their as it is ours.
Will this planet ever see a world without any standing armies?
Or is our distrust of each other too great to overcome.
We pray not.

" 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!
