Saving the Kittehs

While looking at LOLcats, I came across this great story:

Saving Kittehs in the Midst of War

 Kudos to U.S. Marines: Brian Chambers, Chris Berry and Aaron Shaw, as well as to the British Royal Marines who started Nowzad  in 2007, an organization dedicated to rescuing stray and abandoned animals in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Happy Birthday, Marines!

November 10th


"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. The Marines don't have that problem."
Ronald Reagan, President of the United States; 1985

On November 10, 1775, the Continental Congress commissioned Samuel Nicholas to raise two Battalions of Marines.

Nicholas set up shop that very day in Tun Tavern, Philadelphia. He appointed Robert Mullan, then the proprietor & barkeep of the tavern, to the job of chief Marine Recruiter.

Lured by the opportunity to serve in the new Corps of Marines - and the promise of cold beer - prospective recruits flocked to Tun Tavern.

The US Air Force Chief-of-Staff would never be called Airman.
The Chief-of-Naval Operations would never be called Sailor.
The Commanding General of The US Army would never be called Soldier.
The Commandant of the Marine Corps is proud to be called United States Marine.

America, Home of the Free
Because of the Brave.

Barky Obummer, Poser

Image
President-Elect Barky Obummer visited Marines at Kaneohoe Bay during his Hawaiian vacation. He spent about an hour at the dining hall, shaking hands and posing for pictures. 

Sunlen Miller reports:

"As Obama entered the room, it was absent of the regular fanfare of cheering and clapping. The diners were polite, staying seated at their respective tables and waited for the president-elect to come to them to stand up."H/T: Gateway Pundit

It would have been nice if Barky could have found another hour to visit Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu. Tripler is the largest military hospital in the Asian and Pacific Rim region.

Hawaii Five-Oops ?

Image
The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific , located in Punchbowl Crater just north of Honolulu, is the final resting place of over 30,000 veterans of World Wars I and II, Korea, and Vietnam.



And it is the site of an unforgivable show of disrespect to not only every veteran interred there, especially the ones whose graves were trod all over, but also to the 23 veterans who survived the December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor who were special guests that day.
