Seem that we been procrastinating, because we're a bit late this month.
March is the month, that comes in like lion and goes out like a lamb.
For me a day in this month, is my grandson's (AJ) birthday.
Will turn seven, where have the years gone?
I wish, that I could report that our war in Iraq was over.
Sad, we might be there for quite a while.
Some question the "logic" of why we ever got involved.
Now, we're in the same boat as Vietnam, we must captain ship, because nobody has enough education or experience to take over.
How soon before they're ready to take the helm?
5, 10, 15 or 20 years from now.
I doubt that the American people will have that kind of patience.
Than we might question; "What type of government" will govern Iraq?
Women in Iraq, are already fearing a loss of freedom, if an Isamic form of government takes over.
That's not for us to question, that why of it all.
we might ask; "will an islamic government be a new breeding ground for terrorists?"
That a question begging for an answer.

"Excellence doesn't just happen.
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

"To control the past,
Is to give meaning to the present,
And direction to the future."

"They were the best you had, America, and you turned your back on them".

~ Joe Galloway ~ Speaking about Vietnam Veterans

TO THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES
THAT OTHERS MAY SAY PROUDLY
I AM A MARINE
