Posted by GM Roper at November 10, 2005 10:49 AM | TrackBackGM, Very nicely done! BTW, in addition to a few other things, since I have a night class this day...I will be reading Sergeant Alfred "Freddy" Gonzalez' Medal of Honor citation to my students. I've already done so with my other classes and I do believe they are just a bit more aware as to whom and what their Corps of Marines are about.
I will, of course, be thinking about all Marines and their friends a bit more this day and evening. We honor those of the past and we salute and pray for the ones of today.
And just for perspective, right now, there are recruits (aka Marine-wannabes) at MCRDs Parris Island, SC and San Diego, CA. Probably hard to believe, but I'd trade places with any of them in a twinkling of an eye.
Faire winds and following Seas....and a cheery Semper Fidelis
