Don;
I remember those remarks.....Truman always denigrated the Corps, and hated Army West Pointers almost as much, since he had failed to get into the Point. As a Marine in the First Battalion, we sent a letter requesting Police Badges and whistles since Truman insisted on calling Korea a Police Action.
Thank you for your service.

Well, what else can you call it.  I don't think World War III should be better than World War II, and I'd call it the U.N.'s war, and unlike Vietnam, it had the U.N.'s approval.  My faculty advisor wonders if presidential powers have been abused on undeclared wars though...

"Safe in the homeland, singing today,

Waiting for dear ones still on the way,

Trials are ended, hardships are past,

Our Family members are safe in Heaven at last."

 

P.S. I wonder if we should capitalize "family." It could have been a typo on the business cards I had printed...  I submitted it as "family," but it came back "Family."  Ideas?  Become a candidate for our board?  Check out the site!
