Brothers: I thank you for your words of praise, but really it is only my intent to express what we all feel. You words give me the confidence that I am doing it RIGHT.

You and I both will remember the October Massacre in Beruit. One of the most meaningful experiences in my young life as I had already enlisted in the Marines, and was waiting to graduate from Highschool then. Since that time I served during Commandant Grey's tenure, he was a pivotal influence in stabalizing the chaos in Beruit that day. Had I not become a firefighter, I would regret having left the Marines. Between the two there is not other job on earth I would rather have than that of Firefighter or Marine than any other task. The day those Marines were murdered felt very much the same as 9/11. I went into the Corps determined to be a better Marine because of it. Semper Fi, Mac.

Last October I remembered the 25 years since the murder of 241 brother Marines/Sailors murdered in Beirut ( it got a 2 second sound bite on Fox News.) Yesterday I took time to remember the 343/345.Next March 11th I'll stop and remember the 191 on the 6th anniversary of the bombing of the commuter trains in my boyhood hometown of Madrid. But people tell me I'm wrong in my thinking that there are good muslims and bad muslims..... and the good ones are dead. Yeah I guess they are right. Glad I…
