“There are some things so dear, some things so precious, some things so eternally true, that they are worth dying for. And I submit to you that if a man has not discovered something that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

70 yrs ago, Army MG Lowe [said] "The safest place in Korea was right behind a platoon of Marines. Lord, how they could fight." That...rings as true now as it did then, & will remain so tomorrow. Victories are not won bc of tech or equip, but bc of our Marines. - MCM #honorflight
