THANK YOU TO THE LOVE ONE'S THAT GAVE NAME TO PUT ON MY SITE
What is a "Marine"

The other story....
The United States Marine Corps is over two and twenty years of death and destruction.We are the finest fighting force this world has ever known.
  I was born in a foxhole, My mother is anger and my father is pain.
Each moment that I live is an additional threat upon your life.
  I'm a rough-looking, tough-talking soldier of the sea.
I'm cocky, self centered,overbearing,
  and I do not know the meaning of fear,
  for I am fear itself.
I am a green amphibious moster made of blood and guts,
  who arose from the sea to prey
upon enemies across the globe.
I feed on anti-Americanism
whenever it may arise-my hate makes me grow stronger.
and when my time comes,
I will die a glorious death
on the battlefield,
  giving my life to Mom, the Corps,
  And The American Flag.
  We live like soldiers, talk like sailors,
  and slap the crap out of both.
We stole the eagle from the Air Force,
  the Anchor from the Navy,
  and the Rope from the Army.
  On the seventh day while God rested,
  we over ran His perimeter, "borrowed" the Globe,
  and we've been running the show ever since.
  Killer by day,
  Lover by night,
drunkard by choice.

God, Father of Freedom, look after that boy of mine, wherever he may be. Walk in upon him. Keep his mind stayed on thee. Talk with him during the silent watches of the night, and spur him to bravery whenever called upon to face the cruel foe. Transfer my prayer to his heart, that he may know the lingering love I have bequeathed to him as an everlasting gift. Keep my boy contented and inspired by the never dying faith in his mother's God. He is my gift to freedom. May that freedom forever remain untarnished, God. Through the lonely and confusing hours of training and combat, and throughout all the long days of a hopeful victory, keep his spirit high and his purpose unwavering. Make him a proud pal to all with whom he comes in contact and make his influence a noonday light wherever his duty takes him. Satisfy the hunger of his soul with the knowledge of this daily prayer of mine.

  To my country, O Heavenly Father, have I bequeathed this boy of mine. He is my choicest treasure.  Take care of him, God. Keep him in health and sustain him under every possible circumstance of events. Warm him anew under his shelter and under the stars. Touch him with my smile of cheer and comfort and my full confidence in his every brave pursuit. Silent and alone, I pray, God, but I am only one of millions of mothers, whose prayers stream day and night to You. This is our Gethsamane. Lead us victoriously through it God. And lead that boy of mine through this. Fail him not...and may he not fail You, his country, nor his mother.

A Military Mother's Prayer By Pam Gibson

  Dear God, tonight I ask as a mother to bless my child as I do every  night, but now I am reminding you this is a special child. This  child helps to provide a blanket of protection that we as Americans  slumber under each night. He has decided to give his life to protect  this great country of ours, and before now there was always prayer  for you to watch over this child but after the terror that has  struck our U.S. soil, I feel even stronger, more pleading as I pray  to you. This child loves God and country and has sworn to protect  his inhabitants. But, this is still my child who I have sworn to  protect with MY life until the day I die. Now I need your help more  than ever. He is no longer in my reach, but can only be reached by  your hand to protect him. He may be on the oceans, above the earth  or in lands foreign and hostile to him, please God, keep him safe  and bring him home to me,alive and soon. Let this horrendous terror  go away. Let us find peace and keep these special children alive and  safe to teach future generations how important life is and how  important it is to protect it. They are a rare breed, and we are the  mothers who have helped to raise them. Now we are the mothers who  ask for your help to protect them. Please bless all the mother's  children of the world, but please remember I am a military mother  and am asking you to take special care of this special child. I ask  this in your name God, Amen.
