Monday Words


Bear says, "I know a man who is a Vietnam veteran. He understands what college exemptions are about as he enjoyed one for a while, until he met a fell in love with his lifelong mate and had to lay out of school for a year to catch up on finances. During that period he received his draft notice, he didn't have a dog in the fight but his country called and he looked at his options. Aviation was what he wanted and at the time the Marine Corps was his only option so he became a Marine. He says he has no regrets and is proud to have served his country. He says he doesn't understand those who protest against our troops who serve in our nations conflicts as he has never known a Marine who picked the conflict he was involved in unless it was with another Marine or Sailor. He says he will never understand anyone who would lie about service to his country claiming to have done something others did on his behalf --- it shows the greatest form of cowardice and contempt for those who served and some who even died for their freedom. Bear says he knows that man speaks the truth for he is that man."
