I never appreciated it until serving. I never appreciated it until spending time at FT Sam with people coming back with no legs or faces. People give their lives for a cause. I spent days a few weeks ago on a medevac plane with casualties coming back CONUS. It killed me to sit and listen to them joke around and BS when half of them will never buy socks again. They were still just doing their job. There are some great human beings out there.
One team, one fight.
One team, one fight.
Damn straight!!!!
OOH-RAH to my Marine brothers! To all other branches a big thank you. As my boy above said One team, one fight.
Happy Remembrance Day
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
