I for one have not, and never will!


It was a slap in the face of the Americans. The innocents. The Mothers. The Wives. The Daughters. The Sons. The Fathers. The Husbands. The Sisters and Brothers. They all died that day, just for showing up to work.


Our life, Liberty and Freedoms we so often take for granted. These things we so cherish were shaken to the very core this day.


As a former Active duty Marine Corps Staff Sergeant, and even today I would gladly stand next to my brother in arms to defend our great nation, again, against all enemies foreign and domestic to keep such a thing as this from happening again. Would You??



Yes, by God and all that is Holy, my fur is ruffled and will stay as such until we can catch each and every person that tried to destroy what no man, woman or child can physically touch. And that is what we hold so near and dear in our hearts. Our way of life, as Americans.





Where were you on that day?

I was at work, just came into my office building in Hoover, Al, when I happened to stop by the break room where the TV was playing the local news, when they stopped and started showing the live feed from Manhattan. I could have been pushed over by a feather. I stood there feeling so helpless, so angry, so mad that someone could do such a thing. It brought tears to my eyes and even now 5 years later it still does. Yes, believe it, a weeping Marine, for my heart was broken that day for travisty of what had happened had shaken me to my very soul with my beliefs of protecting the men, women and children of this great nation as was so inbred in me by my upbringing and my Drill Instructors. God, Corps and Country. That is all that has ever really mattered to me. How about you??

Major Pain, as I am certain of you reading this....I know you are not leaving just as of yet, but I want to publicly say this, go with God as you cross the pond to carry on our cause. Be Well, Be Safe, God Speed and return home to us soon.

To all those that have come back from fighting our enemies, I say very loudly "WELCOME HOME!".

I have said my piece, which is by all means not all of it. I shall step down now and let a few others say what they have to. If "ANYONE" cares to discuss this further about my feelings fo God, Corps and Country...I shall be out back behind the wood shed....of course my .45 will already be aimed at your sorry butt!

SEMPER FIDELIS.....Always Faithful
