What people don't realize is how much they really do sacrifice

I believe all but one in the photograph eventually became a casualty.

The pharmacist's mate, the guy on the far left. His son wrote a book: Flags of Our Fathers

I’m told one of them died about 3 days after the photo, never making it off the island. The others died within 4-5 years (alcoholism was a factor, as was fame and unexpected publicity for a couple of them.)

Freedom makes life worth living. Armed Service Men and Women, past and present, thank you for fighting for this freedom.

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day from Baghdad Iraq, the only place on earth where one man can burn his ass sitting on a porta potty. Cheers! Cant wait for the season to kick off!

It was all just a dream...

And thank you, bobink, for yours.

It may be a day of memorial for the deceased, but it is also a day of appreciatiion for those who serve now, and those who once served and lived. I’m looking at you, bobink. I may be 42 years late, but I am sincere. Happy Memorial Day.

Thanks to all who have served

A special shout out to Nuggie vets, however many there are and may yet be.

You cannot reason a man out of something he didn't reason himself into in the first place.

I thought there wasn't such a thing

as a former Marine! Then I remembered Jack Murtha. But thanks for your service, man.

…but there’s no such thing as an Ex- Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine.

by freshbreff on May 31, 2025 12:27 PM PDT up reply actions  

Even Murtha?

Who essentially called our troops in Iraq cold-blooded murderers? He should have lost his Marine cred right then and there. Rot in hell, Jack.
