Much is said or thought about our dead in time of war.
But a greater loss, are the deaths during training.
Especially during boot camp, two have died this year.
Responsibility goes up and down the 'chain of command'.
Those in command at the time of these deaths must be held accountable.
Our Marine Corps Core Values, demand an answer.
Why these recruits died.
With that out of the way.
HAPPY 241 MARINE CORPS BIRTHDAY, MARINES
Semper Fidelis

"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."

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."
