OK, I confess, I have Krispy Kreme glaze trapped in the thigh bolster of my sport seats...good thing they're not heated.

I don't know - if your seats were, would your X smell like a donut shop? Wouldn't be all bad!

Of course, then you'd be hungry every time you used your heaters!

Using the word marine isn't trying to make them look bad, its simply how he is recalled in my memory because he was wearing his uniform so thats how I recall him, I have nothing against the military as I have stated before, I respect them alot, not him but the general military have my respect for doing a job I wouldn't and most likely couldn't do, as for the silver spoon, I grew up poor until I was 15 and my dads company started doing well and I think its inaccurate to judge me without looking at all sides of my life, I'm an adopted child from a 17 year old girl in Georgia (where I was born) so silver spoon is not a correct term to use

There is generally more to people than meets the eye and thank goodness we live in a country where we have the freedom to discover this.

Gotcha. The post just caught me at a "good" time; sorry if I was harsh.

This is a poem being sent from a Marine to his Dad. For those who take the time to read it, you'll see a letter from him to his Dad at the bottom. It makes you truly thankful for not only the Marines, but ALL of our troops.

THE MARINE

We all came together,
Both young and old
To fight for our freedom,
To stand and be bold.

In the midst of all evil,
We stand our ground,
And we protect our country
From all terror around.

Peace and not war,
Is what some people say.
But I'll give my life,
So you can live the American way.

I give you the right
To talk of your peace.
To stand in your groups,
and protest in our streets.

But still I fight on,
I don't bitch, I don't whine.
I'm just one of the people
Who is doing your time.

I'm harder than nails,
Stronger than any machine.
I'm the immortal soldier,
I'm a U.S. MARINE!

So stand in my shoes,
And leave from your home.
Fight for the people who hate you,
With the protests they've shown.

Fight for the stranger,
Fight for the young.
So they all may have,
The greatest freedom you've won.

Fight for the sick,
Fight for the poor
Fight for the cripple,
Who lives next door.

But when your time comes,
Do what I've done.
For if you stand up for freedom,
You'll stand when the fight's done.

Hey Dad,

Do me a favor and label this "The Marine" and send it to everybody on your email list. Even leave this letter in it. I want this rolling all over the US; I want every home reading it. Every eye seeing it. And every heart to feel it. So can you please send this for me? I would but my email time isn't that long and I don't have much time anyway. You know what Dad? I wondered what it would be like to truly understand what JFK said in His inaugural speech.

"When the time comes to lay down my life for my country, I do not cower from this responsibility". I welcome it. Well, now I know. And I do. Dad, I welcome the opportunity to do what I do. Even though I have left behind a beautiful wife, and I will miss the birth of our first born child, I would do it 70 times over to fight for the place that God has made for my home. I love you all and I miss you very much. I wish I could be there when Sandi has our baby, but tell her that I love her, and Lord willing, I will be coming home soon. Give Mom a great big hug from me and give one to yourself too.
Aaron

Its ok I understand, I just never remember names so I remember people for what they drive or what they do etc, but its understandable
