[Oh Haha]

I never served in the service. If I was 18 again, I would join, hopefully to be a Marine, if allowed. I thank all of you Pelicans that have served our country in peace and war time.

I heard a poem on the radio today written or spoken by a Lance Corporal in the Marine Corp. I don't recall it all but one line, the last, stuck with me all day.

The Marine was being judged by God and the Marine told of trying hard to be fathful to the ten commandments, especially the "Thou Shalt Not Kill' part. He explains that is part of his job.
In the end, God tells him to come forward to Heaven as he has already been to hell. It was a very moving poem.
