Default ...... Oorah - U.S.M.C. .... 250-years!

http://www.governor.nh.gov/news/gove...s-marine-corps ..... four photos

No military service for me, just like you-know-who, I received a low 300's lottery number in the Wednesday, July 1, 1970, Vietnam draft lottery.

If not for that lucky break, I wanted to be a Pfc. in the USMC, just like Pfc. Gomer Pyle ... www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gomer_Pyle ... a point man on a squad of 13, all crawling through that hot, humid, deadly Vietnam jungle while clutching a M14 ... www.wikipedia.org/wiki/M14_rifle ....waiting and listening for Charlie .... www.awm.gov.au/collection/C176721 .... to show up...... Oorah-U.S.M.C.! .....

Bugles Across America ..... http://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/11/ar...y-buglers.html ..... is always beautiful haunting listen to bugle taps.

We had a Veterans Day ceremony at school yesterday, and the Marines recruiter who has worked with many of my students (I have three seniors who have completed MEPS already) was the guest speaker.

There were two parts of his speech I liked best: 1. To appreciate the "silence" provided by the armed forces of America—many areas of the world aren't so fortunate. 2. "Service" is a word we don't use as often as we should, along with a challenge for the students to find their way to it, whether through the military, police, firefighting, teaching, healthcare, etc. or volunteerism in the community.


Happy Veterans Day to all that served.

May God Bless all of the US military veterans who have provided all of us the freedoms that we enjoy today.

No matter what their MOS was/is - all are important contributions to our country, our freedoms, and our society.

God Bless them all. And hey, give them a thanks when you can.

Let us not forget !
