This was forwarded to me this morning... Ooorah Marines!
My Worry
Well I was at the mall the other day and given the climate of today's world I was just slightly afraid. I saw an Army gent and asked him what the army had to prevent. He smiled and stood and told me of the tanks and Bradleys and artillery. I acknowledged and thanked him for his willingness to serve.
My worry was still not appeased when I spied and Air Force group. I repeated the question and they told me of things such as stealth and bombs that could land on a pin. There was just no way the terrorists could win. Again I smiled and thanked them for their tour, but still my fear needed something more. I soon saw a Navy Officer and again I asked my question and she replied about the pride of the fleet, aircraft carriers with planes and bombs. She talked of silent submarines and cruise missiles ready to defend.
I thanked her for her candor and told her I was proud of what she was willing to do, but yet the fear was still with me. You would think I would feel secure. I spotted a single Marine who was standing tall and steel straight. I asked the others so I did not hesitate; I asked him what the Marine Corp had. Without a smile or pretense he told me they had him and other Marines. My fear went away for I knew it was true. AS long as there are Marines this country is safe.
Thanks to all whom serve and God bless but a special thank you to my Brothers. Semper Fi Marines
