First Marine fallen

[chesty]

Semper Fi Brother!

http://www.fiftiesweb.com/usa/marine.htm


From the Halls of Montezuma
To the Shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
of United States Marine.

Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in ev'ry clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job--
The United States Marines.

Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.

I heard (CNN? CNBC? Fox? I flick back and forth) he was shot in the stomach during while defending an oil field.

Not sure if it was in southern Iraq but it appears thats where they are fighting back.

Condolences...

kelvar doesn't stop evrything

 

[velvett]

NO disrespect but did anyone really think that no one would die?

Death is usually a side effect of war.

I guess your right. I'm not an expert on it.

I don't think anyone is shocked about this happening. They are just showing there respect and making note and thanks to a fallen soldier.

 

[chesty]

I fully expected it. My Marine Brothers deserve nothing less than my full respect. That is why I have posted this.

I often find that those in the military expect death and casualties. Those who watch it unfold on TV do not expect them.

Those who get fired at are more than aware that this is not a game.

ONLY ONE HAS DIED IN COMBAT SO FAR. HOWEVER, 16 HAVE DIED IN TWO HELO CRASHES.

Now CNN is reporting that two Marines are K.I.A., along with the Marines from the helicopter crash. But if Saddam uses chemical/biological weapons, the Marines who have fallen so far will be nothing but the tip of the iceberg. Also, I heard on CNN that Saddam (if he's still alive) and his regime have kicked out all CNN reporters from Baghdad. BIG FUCKING DEAL, they'll be back in Baghdad in about 3-4 days! lol I hope CNN reporter Nic Roberston comes back in a few days and sips tea at one of Saddam's palaces, if one is still left standing.

 

[chesty]

It is two Marines now KIA and two of the 6 are from AZ. One was stationed in Yuma and the other was from here.

 

[Night Fly]

My prayers go out to not only the Marines, but to every other person over there fighting for our country. God Bless them all.

 

[rushx79]

R.I.P.

Semper Fi, rest in peace.

 

[skaman607]

I guess your right. I'm not an expert on it.

If something is really sharp, so that it only hits a few fibres, then it will go right through. Kelvar won't stop a knife.

 

[skaman607]

I'm a little young to have anyone I know personally die, or even to be over there, but my grandfather was a POW in WWII. I believe that our troops deserve the utmost respect, and these anti war protestors make me sick.

 

[jwill3:16]

6 are K.I.A. 2 fatel from gun fire and 4 were scouts that got killed in a Humm V.....

Widelat i pray for your brother and everyone elses..

its too bad were causing all the K.I.A. from our Helio's crashing.....

Even the British troops we lost i feel bad for there families.

My cousin was shot in the first Gulf War through the legs when he was on the ground taking cover and a piece of lead broke of and killed the Marine next to him...he can walk now but has only just over 40% of his muscle left in both legs so he can walk he has pin in there too for ever..
