It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Its not politics, just fine here.  And any one who makes it political is going to get a vacation in banned camp.

Even though it's "old" news, it still belongs.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Well, one hopes that the Marines didn't hand him over to Dover and have parts of him thrown into a landfill. :mad: :mad:

All that comes to mind is how touching that was, on her part, and on the part of the Marines that continued to stand watch over the both of them.  Beyond that, I am at a loss for words.

You are absolutely right, vaskidmark.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Somehow, before I even clicked the link, I knew what picture it was.  But I clicked it anyway, because I needed to remember what Veteran's day actually means.   To those that have served, or are currently serving - THANK YOU

And yeah, I must need glasses or something - whole dang room is fuzzy.

Speaking as a veteran, this picture (and story) are NOT what Veterans' Day means. Memorial Day is the day we remember those who died in the line of duty. Veterans' day is the day we honor those veterans who were fortunate enough NOT to batch the golden BB.

I disagree Hawk.  We honor all Veterans on Veteran's Day and then on Memorial Day we honor especially those that gave all.

I'd appreciate if the thread veer is saved for another thread.  Make a new veteran's day VS. Memorial day thread if you want to pick nits.  Ill be back in a few hours after a bile ride and trip to the gym, don't test me.

"bile ride"???  (sorry, couldn't resist)

Back on topic - I have to admit I've been getting choked up all weekend every time I think about this picture and the accompanying story.  

Damnit, happening even right now as I try to type this -

I know she will likely never see this, but thank you, Mrs. Cathey, for *your* sacrifice.

And thank you to those Marines, who stood watch over her and her husband.  Right now I could not be prouder of any member of this nation's military.  

And if God ever finds Himself in need of an Honor Guard - I can think of no finer choice than the Marines who stood watch that night.
