This message board is in support of members of the Marine Corps and their relatives, and friends
This being the 7th of August, only a few more days.
Left of the XXX Olympic Games.
Some have been rewarded for a lot of years of training.
It was a nightmare for other folks.
One mishap or misstep is all it took.
But is it just the medals that count?
Some will make money off the medals they earned.
Some nations will go through these games without earning one medal.
But they will leave with memories of taking part.
With that I will now close this Blog Message

"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
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."
~ General Charles C. Krulak ~
31st Commandment of the Marine Corps
Is to give meaning to the present,
And direction to the future."
