The first thing he wanted to know is if the other Marine who was near him was alright. That is a man who understands duty, honor and Country. That is a man who understands what it is to love his neighbor as himself. I pray that he and his lovely fiancee have an incredible wedding, and a wonderful life together. They both have certainly earned their time of peace!!

We could also take $$$ from former presidents' pensions and let them hire their own body guards, congressional pay for not doing their jobs, etc. - the list boggles the mind. For showing only the anti-war bunch, I used e-mail addresses on Fox News web site to tell them their "fair and balanced", "we report, you decide" was a crock of cranberries. The part I loved most is the Marine's fiance saying she did not know there were so many kinds of napkins for the wedding/reception! What a couple...the greatest generation is here and now.

You can give Cpl. Hennagir clearance to go, or we can just come up here and get him. One way or another, he's going to be there."</blockquote> * This is probably not the right time or place to say this, but a number jumped out at me and ticked me off badly: This brave man gets $3,500.00 a month plus social security. I cannot help but think that if we weren't allowing liberals to feed, house and pay thousands of illegal aliens who have not done one damn thing for this country except work for their own selfish motivations, and hundreds of absurd quasi-socialist programs, some of which defy all reason or belief, this country might be able to afford to pay this brave man who gave so much $5,000.00 a month. Or more. And that's far, far and away a better use of the money. Just a couple of quick observations on this overwhelming story:
