It’s good to be an American – and it’s better to be a Marine

Read this, and be in awe of these men who have overcome tremendous wounds and long healing processes, who have made a choice.
Here are some quotes from the Marines in this article:
“They remind me why it’s good to be an American – and it’s better to be a Marine.”
“You used to put on your shoe, now you put on your leg,” he said. “It saves you money. You only gotta wear one sock. And you don’t have to cut your toenails anymore.”
“Five Marines were saved,” he said. “This is why God put me in the Marine Corps.”
“Any time you hear Marine, especially with U.S. in front of it, people don’t want to fight with you.”
Rather than sit around and mope and feel sorry for themselves, they chose to move forward and be active AND help their fellow Marines. These guys are an inspiration for ALL. The Semper Fi team will be participating in the Nation’s Triathlon in September. It’s amazing: these guys have lost limbs and have under taken the task of brutal training schedules, other marathons and events, ON their own time, with no assistance from the US Government.
Please donate some cash to the Semper Fi Fund.
All the money they raise in these endeavors is given right back to other injured Marines. Only a few and only some proud could do this. The spirit of the Marine Corps lives on through these men.
