Quote of the day,author unknown,but its fitting for the Marines that were lost yesterday

[John]

“And when he gets to heaven
To St.Peter he will tell
One more Marine reporting,Sir,
I’ve served my time in hell.”
-Epitaph in a cemetery at Lunga Point
If you dont dont know where Lunga Point is,do yourself some good and look it up…

That was some fierce fighting at that place.

 

[John]

Yes it was. I’m reading a book about The Wind Talkers

 

[Poppy]

The Indians?

 

[John]

Yup, they were Dineeh,took their language,changed it up some,the only code the Japs never broke,they had body guards,other marines who were instructed that the code was more important then the Indian themselves,so if they were about to be captured they were to kill them

 

[Poppy]

I’ve read this book twice. Very interesting from a military point of view. Great old pics of our jarhead predecessors.

Really like history… The fight is irrelevant. Its cliché but we fight for our brothers. All wars are the same.
