Just a short tribute to my fallen Marine Embassy Guard (74-76) brothers that served as modern centurions guarding the outward ramparts of the empire.

He also said that he and three friends went out one evening a few weeks or so after his discharge and some little liberal puke made a disparaging remark about him for serving. All he knew is that it took all three of his friends to pull him off the antagonist. He thumped him bad enough that they got out of there ASAP before any heat got there. Apparently, there was one of the little basket of failures that needed a lesson in how to properly respect our veterans. Long may our flag wave over those who served.
Agreed we should honour our veterans ,they risked their lives so we, could live in a better country. For all our war troubles throughout history, we have depended on our soldiers to keep our country safe and free.

Would be great to have you out here. Going to stay closer to home the first part of the year and race at Top Gun Race Track. Time is going to be the challenge with the Marine Embassy Guard Association in May/June in Charleston, SC. Good luck to you this season. We did raise enough money to offer a $500 scholarship to each HS in the area.
