The Greatest Story Never Told

"For years, I've lived a double life.In the day, I do my job, ride the bus But at night, I live a life of exhilaration, of missed heartbeats and adrenalin. A life of dubious virtue. I won't deny it, I've been engaged in violence, even indulged in it. I've maimed and killed adversaries and not merely in self-defense. I've exhibited disregard for life, limb and property, and savoured every moment. You may not think it, to look at me, but I have commanded armies and conquered worlds. And though in achieving these things I've set morality aside, I have no regrets. For though I've led a double life, at least I can say: I've lived."

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many.

My mama can't you see!   

What this Corps has done for me!

Put me in a barbers chair;     

Snip snap and I had no hair!

And if I die in a combat zone;

Box me up and ship me home!

Put me in a set of dress blues,

comb my hair and shine my shoes!

Pin my medals upon my chest!

Tell my mama I did my best!

Well My mama don't you cry;

Marine Corps motto is do or die!

The price of war is not only paid with money, nor is it paid with only blood, sweat and tears.

The price of war is often paid with limbs, mental stability, lives, and also by the sacrifice of those warriors families.

Remember the day I borrowed your brand new car and I dented it? 

I thought you'd kill me, but you didn't. 

And remember the time I dragged you to the beach,and you said it would rain, and it did? 

I thought you'd say, "I told you so." But you didn't. 

Do you remember the time I flirted with all the guys to make you jealous, and you were? 

I thought you'd leave me, but you didn't. 

Do you remember the time I spilled strawberry pie all over your car rug? 

I thought you'd hit me, but you didn't. 

And remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was formal and you showed up in jeans?

I thought you'd drop me, but you didn't. 

Yes, there were lots of things you didn't do, 

But you put up with me,

and you loved me,

and you protected me.

There were lots of things I wanted to make up to you when you returned from Iraq.

But you didn't...

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.

This Was: The First Time I Wore Something Similar To A Suit.

   The First Time I Liked Short Hair And Wore Shiny Shoes.

            And It Was The Last Time I Feared Anything.

Huge Shoutout To All The Females Out There Who Answered The Call..

Rct. Rachel Kinnell, Platoon 4033, November Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion.  Oorah!!

Serve with honor, to sacrifice our sanity and soul to the dusty streets of far off lands and walk the most dangerous places on earth with the baddest motherfuckers this culture can produce.

No Regrets....

If there must be war, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace
