In remembrance of the Fallen...

[Jarhead]

Today marks the 19th Anniversary of the terrorist bombing of the Marine Barracks in Beirut, Lebanon.

From me, a candle burns for lost friends.

May they never be forgotten.

Hey, Jarhead --

Sempre Fi. My dad and brother were both Marines (WWII & Viet Nam). Thanks for your sacrafice. I'll join you in remembering those who never made it back.

May they all rest in peace, and with our gratitude.

To all friends and family lost in service to their country, may they all rest in peace.

in rememberance......

on a slightly differnet note.........not wishing to offend, and don't know how it ask so here goes:

they have been running the chuck norris films again for the 100th time on cable in the UK, is there any truth in the soldiers still being held in Nam or is this just to sell the films?

This is a very touchy subject. The official government position is that there are no more POW's left alive; there are those of us who believe, and can make a convincing case, that there remain many still alive. If anyone is really interested in this I will be happy to provide information back-channel (PM me). I won't discuss it further on this board.

My best friend (a captain in the USMC) narrowly missed being in Beirut when that attack occured. Sadly, he is no longer with us, but I shall never forget his friendship, nor the sacrifice that our men in service have made throughout the years on every continent on Earth. Semper Fi...


“For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight; I have finished my course; I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but unto all them that also love his appearing.” -- II Timothy, 4:6-8
