Well, I know that reality can't compete with the Fantasia mindset of the left, but I thought I would share my pride as a father and former Marine.

My son is a member of MEU 31.

I was in Pohang, Korea in 1975, small world...

Marine Corps Expeditionary Unit 31

Nice site
Looks like your son is a member of a very fine organization. Look like they are highly trained, motivated, and prepared.

What does he do in the unit?

on another note....
I got this from a Canadian Army officer, thought you and others might like it:

An Army grunt stands in the rain with a 35-pound pack on his back, 15 lb.
weapon in hand, after having marched 12 miles, and says,

"This is #&%!$!"

An Army Airborne Ranger stands in the rain with a 45 lb. pack on his back,
weapon in hand, after having jumped from an airplane and marched 18 miles,
and says with a smile,

"This is good #&%!$!"

A Navy SEAL lies in the mud, 55 LB pack on his back, weapon in hand, after
swimming 10 miles to shore, crawling through a swamp and marching 25 miles
at night past the enemy positions, says with a grin,

"This really is great #&%!$."

A Marine, up to his nose in the stinking, bug infested mud of a swamp with a
65 LB pack on his back and a weapon in both hands after jumping from an
aircraft at high altitude, into the ocean, swimming 12 miles to the shore,
killing several alligators to enter the swamp, then crawling 30 miles
through the brush to assault an enemy camp, says,

"I love this #&%!$."

The Air Force NCO sits in an easy chair in an air-conditioned office, and
says,

"My e-mail's out? What kind of #&%!$ is this?"

The Lore Of The Rings is "hobbit-forming"! That's right, this fantastic new movie is truly a "hard hobbit to break"! I've journeyed to the magical land of Mondor (courtesy of my local Loew's Cineplex) three times in the past week and have gotten swept away each time! The majesty of the landscape! The pointy little ears! And, oh, that Sean Connery as the wizard Gandahar! I hope that all parties involved in Episode One: The Ring's Fellow's New Clothes have dusted off an Oscar spot on their knickknack shelves, because they're gonna need it!
