What better example of what it really means.
With President Barack H. Obama and his family now living in the White House.
The reality of things political, is that not all promises will be met.
But, we making great strides to over-come some the thing left for us to clean up.
Presidents Day and Valentine's Day fall in this month.
One to remember our leaders of the past and the leader of today.
The other is a day for 'lovers' around the world.
This month is also a 'Leap Year' month or it has 29 days as oppose to 28 in other years.
For people born on the 29th of February, it will be a Happy Birthday.
A little history from a web page on the web;
A person born on February 29 may be called a "leapling" or a "leaper". In common years they usually celebrate their birthdays on February 28 or March 1.
A year that is not a leap year is called a common year.
February 29 is a date that usually occurs every four years, and is called leap day.
This month, my wife and I celebrate our wedding anniversary, on 12 February.
Didn't plan it that way, but I know it's near when Valentine's Day draws near.
With that said I will now close.

When there is no room left on stone
To write the wrong
Or spell the sin
Who will name the dead?

To a Marine
Honor is loyalty and dedication to God,
Country, Corps, Family, and Self.
TO THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES'
AND THOSE WHO SERVED BEFORE,
THAT OTHERS MAY SAY PROUDLY
I AM A MARINE!
Semper Fidelis
Ricardo
Not as Lean, or as Mean, but Always A Marine!
