I sleep well at night, knowing those bad ass mother fuckers are on watch over all of us. Semper fi dudes.

Love your enemies, but keep your sword close by and bright.

>> This is little-known story from the Pentagon on 09/11/2001:
>>
>> During a visit with a fellow chaplain, who happened to be assigned to the
>> Pentagon, I had a chance to hear a first-hand account of an incident that
>> happened right after Flight 7 7 hit the Pentagon. The chaplain told me
>> what happened at a daycare center near where the impact occurred. This
>> daycare had many children, including infants who were in heavy cribs. The
>> daycare supervisor, looking at all the children they needed to evacuate,
>> was in a panic over what they could do. There were many children, mostly
>> toddlers, as well as the infants that would need to be taken out with the
>> cribs.
>>
>>
>>
>> There was no time to try to bundle them into carriers and strollers. Just
>> then a young Marine came running into the center and asked what they
>> needed. After hearing what the center director was trying to do, he ran
>> back out into the hallway and disappeared. The director thought, 'well,
>> there we are—on our own.'
>>
>> About 2 minutes later, that Marine returned with 40 other Marines in tow.
>> Each of them grabbed a crib with a child, and the rest started gathering
>> up toddlers. The director and her staff then helped them take all the
>> children out of the center and down toward the park near the Potomac and
>> the Pentagon. Once they got about 3/4 of a mile outside the building, the
>> Marines stopped in the park, and then did a fabulous thing - they formed
>> a circle with the cribs, which were quite sturdy and heavy, like the
>> covered wagons in the Old West. Inside this circle of cribs, they put the
>> toddlers, to keep them from wandering off. Outside this circle were the
>> 40 Marines, forming a perimeter around the children and waiting for
>> instructions. T here they remained until the parents could be notified
>> and come get their children..
>>
>> The chaplain then said, "I don't think any of us saw nor heard of this on
>> any of the news stories of the day. It was an incredible story of our men
>> there. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. The thought of those Marines
>> and what they did and how fast they reacted; could we expect any less
>> from them? It was one of the most touching stories from the Pentagon.
>>
>> Remember Ronald Reagan's great compliment: "Most of us wonder if our
>> lives made any difference. Marines don't have that problem."

American flag- I never knew this

Meaning of Flag Draped Coffin
All Americans should be given this lesson. Those who think that America is an arrogant nation should really reconsider that thought. Our founding fathers used GOD's word and teachings to establish our Great Nation and I think it's high time Americans get re-educated about this Nation's history. Pass it along and be proud of the country we live in and even more proud of those who serve to protect our 'GOD GIVEN' rights and freedoms.


I hope you take the time to read this .... To understand what the flag draped coffin really means ... Here is how to understand the flag that laid upon it and is surrendered to so many widows and widowers.


Do you know that at military funerals, the 21-gun salute stands for the sum of the numbers in the year 1776?



Have you ever noticed the honor guard pays meticulous attention to correctly folding the United States of America flag 13 times? You probably thought it was to symbolize the original 13 colonies, but we learn something new every day!

The 1st fold of the flag is a symbol of life.


The 2nd fold is a symbol of the belief in eternal life.



The 3rd fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veterans departing the ranks who gave a portion of their lives for the defense of the country to attain peace throughout the world.


The 4th fold represents the weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in time of war for His divine guidance.


The 5th fold is a tribute to the country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, 'Our Country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong.'


The 6th fold is for where people's hearts lie. It is with their heart that They pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States Of America , and the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.

The 7th fold is a tribute to its Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that they protect their country and their flag against all her enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of their republic.



The 8th fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day.


The 9th fold is a tribute to womanhood, and Mothers. For it has been through their faith, their love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great has been molded.

The 10th fold is a tribute to the father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of their country since they were first born.



The 11th fold represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon and glorifies in the Hebrews eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.



The 12th fold represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in the Christians eyes, God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.


The 13th fold, or when the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost reminding them of their nations motto,'In God We Trust.'



After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat, ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under General George Washington, and the Sailors and Marines who served under Captain John Paul Jones, who were followed by their comrades and shipmates in the Armed Forces of the United States, preserving for them the rights, privileges and freedoms they enjoy today.

There are some traditions and ways of doing things that have deep meaning. In the future, you'll see flags folded and now you will know why.

Share this with the children you love and all others who love what is referred to, the symbol of ' Liberty and Freedom.'


MAYBE THE SUPREME COURT SHOULD READ THIS EXPLANATION BEFORE THEY RENDER THEIR DECISION ON THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.
FORWARD IT; MAYBE SOMEONE WITH THE NECESSARY POWER, OR POLITICAL AND FINANCIAL INFLUENCE, WILL GET IT TO THEM.

IN THE MEANTIME, MAY GOD PROTECT US ALWAYS.

ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
