SEMPER Fi !!!!
This was in my mail box this AM, along with a lot of shit from people not
Americans. They are pissed that I dared to post the fact that it was the
Marine Corps birthday yesterday.
Veterans Day here in the US. Its a day we honor our war dead and
veterans. Including the men who died fighting in Europe.
I hope the letter below *really* pisses you off.
