Souless's blog: "From an Army Wife"

My Friend was a US Marine, he drove a big 7 ton truck, when he'd go to work each night, he'd say, "sweetie wish me luck". Then he would not come home again, 'til sometime the next day, But the thing that bothered me most, was the things some folks would say. A Marine's life is easy, he eats and sleeps and plays, And sometimes he won't fight a war for days and days and days. When I first heard these comments, I was too dumb to understand Cause I knew, when people had trouble he was there to lend a hand. Then my Marine went to work one day and kissed me good-bye, But little did I realize, that night, I would cry. My Marine gave his life that night, when the bomb hit from below, And I wondered why he'd risk his life, for someone he didn't know. But now I realize, the greatest gift a man could give, Is to lay his life upon the line, so that someone else may live. So as we go from day to day, and we pray to God above, Say a prayer for your local Marine, he may save the one you love. If u know a Marine, or are a Marine yourself, repost this with the title "Marines" Dedicated to all the Marines that gave their all for the best of everyone else....You may be gone, but never forgotten, NEVER Semper Fi..

If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go. Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own. And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind."
