May God Bless all of those serving our nation during this CHRISTMAS Season.
That picture is the most compelling thing I can imagine to keep our military at it's full strength.
Our "government" never has learned the lessons of the past. If it had, we would have already taken care of the "problems" of the world a long time ago, starting with the Islamic nations.

I met an elderly man last week who was wearing one of those caps that said "WWII Veteran" on the front of the cap. I had to talk to him. I found out he was a United States Marine who had fought in the Pacific during WWII. Remember...there's no such thing as a former "Marine" - Once a Marine...always a Marine.
His age and his slight stoop made him appear very meek and harmless. When I asked him where he served, he straigthened up and said "I am Marine and I served in the Pacific theater. Our job was to fight our way out of where ever they dropped us". He fought in most of the major Island landings in the Pacific including Okinawa.
"We earned our pay" he said and thanked me for appreciating the sacrifice he and his fellow Marines made in WWII in the Pacific.
I could only imagine him at the young age of 18 years old fighting on the beaches of Tarawa and Okinawa a foot at a time and realizing that I had the privilege to meet a very amazing man that had to do things to stay alive that I could only imagine.
God Bless him and all our soldiers in uniform on this "Day of Infamy - "December 7, 1941".

His generation were truly the Greatest. Our men and women in the military deserve every citizens' love and respect during the Christmas season.
And for all of you whiny assed liberals, go piss up a rope!
