Today, I remembered words of wisdom from Nomad

He told me once;
"To thy ownself be true"
I could not imagine a situation, that would require that I would have to be true to my beliefs or values.
On another Marine Corps message board there been too many messages or postings.
Whose message is of hate towards my race or blood.
Others postings are aimed at young women by a man older than my 66 years.
Today, on seeing another message of hate, I decided that I could not or would not be party of such a racist's, bigoted and sexual harassing message board.
If I was to hold to my Core Values and my Marine Corps Core Values.
I had to be true to myself.
That message board makes a mockery of the words "Semper Fidelis" or "Always Faithful"...faithful to what?
Sure isn't to other fellow Marines, whose blood comes from Mexico.

Semper Fidelis
Ricardo
