But You Have NO Idea !!

I recently received this from a Marine in one of our adopted Units. He is on his third deployment to the middle east and I wanted to share it because, well, It doesn't get explained much better than this ..

. We are Marines.

Many people don't understand what we do as Marines or do they really want to know. Many are just thankful that we are out there - the force between them and evil.

 They are quick to chastise us or point out the rare occasions when we drift however, they beg for us to go stand between them and fear.

In the very recent past, we have lost 2 Marines from our unit, the first of this deployment, and many,many more the last few deployments.

 God Bless them both and their families - Semper Fi

They are warriors, school teachers and sons. They wanted to make a difference and they did. Now that we have grieved and held a memorial, we put our helmets back on, push outside the wire and continue to keep the wolf at bay. Why, you ask?

Because we are Marines
