We still have heroes…
Many former Marines still run towards the sound of the fire, or in this case, towards an actual fire. Kudos to him for catching the child tossed from a 3rd floor balcony, and to the mother who tossed him and then managed to save her other child. She did not survive, but her children did. Sometimes people help just because they can. That is what we should all strive for, even if so few of us achieve it.
Oorah, Michael Campofiori!
Michael Campofiori battled childhood leukemia and won. Now he has fought his way through “The Crucible” and achieved his lifelong dream of becoming a U.S. Marine. What a young man!
He marched too…
This Marine has the finest tweet of all time, in response to the clueless crybabies of the Million Student March who are demanding “free” college and forgiveness of student debt. Even if you count all the protesters at all the campuses, at most you might get a couple of thousand. They are budding little fascists who know nothing of economics or common sense or history. Watch Neil Cavuto let one of the organizers make a complete fool of herself by displaying her vast ignorance. Has she never heard of the Pilgrims and their failed experiment in communism?
The saluting Marine…
With Memorial Day coming up, I thought you’d like to know more about the Marine veteran who spends hours in full dress uniform saluting the riders of Rolling Thunder.
Marine Staff Sergeant Tim Chambers has been doing this since 2002, and he’ll be back again this year. Oorah!
Lucky Marine…
This is one fortunate Marine. Not every helmet saves its wearer. Thank God this one did its job well.
Leave no man behind…
The Marines really mean it. What modern metro-sexual do you know who would fall behind his running buddies to help a struggling youngster? Lance Corporal Myles Kerr did so, simply because the boy asked him to. The Marines do make men, but I suspect Kerr was excellent material for the Corps to work with.
Oh, yeah, ooh-rah!
Leave it to a Marine to have the guts to post this sign on his trucks, and to leave them there even after the Secret Service paid him a visit.
Loyal even unto death…
There’s a reason “dog” becomes a holy word when spelled backwards. I find the average canine is better than the average person. I despair of owners who treat dogs as fur people. I’ve been a dog owner for more than six decades, and though I’ve had some difficult dogs, I’ve never had a bad one. I’ve had a couple of purebreds, but mostly mutts, the Heinz 57 with the crooked tail, or blind in one eye. They have all repaid my care with enthusiastic companionship, protection, and a good deal of entertainment that sprang from a dog who reveled in being a dog.
And while you’re a bit sad, read this piece by Rosslyn Smith. Then see the dog who ate ten grand’s worth of diamonds.
