Ok, Ace & T.J. have got to come up with a better code name for men than "Lucy". No Marine should ever be called "Lucy" for any reason. (Just a little humor to make you smile~)
I served in the U.S. Navy during Desert Storm, proudly, alongside the men and women of the Marine Corps. I know the life ya'll lead on a daily basis. I know the mind games you go through to be Marines. But I also know that I have NEVER met a prouder group of individuals than the United States Marines. The Marine Corps is so different from the other branches. Unless you have served as a Marine, or served closely beside one, no one can begin to understand what a Marine goes through. The long days; the short nights; the mega mile humps; the MRE's (YUK); the duty that you stand hour upon hour and week upon week; the endless phone watches; the endless drills to prepare for what you are doing now; and the paycheck that can't begin to reflect the sacrifice each of you make to protect those of us stateside. I know what you have been through to get where you are, and because I know, when I say I am proud of you all, that pride I feel comes from a place in my heart that was created by serving with my fellow Marines. You have but to see the American Flag flying from the Pilot House, or from the stern, to get MOTO. Let your weakness be your strength. And never doubt that you are thought of and prayed for every second of the day. You and everyone else serving and sacrificing for our freedom in the United State Military. Feel free to email me, for any reason, if you or anyone in your unit would like. We may not be with you physically, but our hearts are with you continually. You are all heroes. You are all heroes.
"Semper Fidelis"
God Bless,
Rae
