U.S. Marines raise the flag at Iwo Jima Memorial
Yesterday was the 234th Birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps. Happy Birthday Marines!
Today is Veteran’s Day. Thank you, veterans. Thank you veterans’ families.
Freedom is NOT free. Freedom exacts a very high price. The lives of our Soldiers, Airmen, Marines, Sailors, Coast Guardsmen, and Reservists. Their blood, sweat, and tears are like the rain that falls on the earth to water it, so that the crop we grow in America, freedom, may grow and prosper. If you stop watering the land, freedom dies. No water, no life. Period.
I hope that all of you take time to stop and reflect on the freedoms you enjoy. And remember to thank your veterans and active duty and reservists for providing that great gift to you.
234 years ago the U.S. Marines were founded – in a tavern, no less! I am privileged to say that I served 4 of those years. Happy Birthday Marines!
If you are a young man or woman who is down on your luck. Or not sure of your destiny. Consider joining the armed forces. You will not regret it. In fact, you will regret NOT doing it. I couldn’t live with that regret, so I joined. I’m very glad I did. There is nothing like it in this world. And there never will be.
Semper Fi Marines!
Thank you Veterans!
Thank you Active Duty and Reservists!
Thank you America!
I like my freedom. Very much.
God Bless Us. Every one.
Until next time.
Peace.
-Ryan.
