24. I have stood at many a military funeral, I have heard Taps rolling
Edited on Sat Oct-21-06 05:18 PM by rasputin1952
across the cemetery; I have been there so many times, and yet each time, the respect for those who have worn the uniform I wore, or any uniform of the Armed Services never leaves me, regardless of the action the life was lost in.

This family did not deserve this. This Marine NCO did not die defending Liberty, he died on an expedition to enrich the elite of this nation. This Marine did the job he was sent to do, he was sacrificed upon the altar of war, and for that I shed a tear. What this abomination of an administration has done is the real crime here. This Marine was used as a pawn by those who have never had the courage to wear the uniforms of this nation, who think that human beings are their playthings in a sandbox of their making.

To the family, you have my condolences, your loss is my loss, our nation's loss. May you find Peace in the future.
