I've been reading and learning the different in old and new Corps. I respect everyone including the Nam Vets.
As I sit here and read the stories and battles amoung each other cause one is better then the other one. It is not. I respect all Marines from 0311 to admin. OLd or new Corps.
I hate to see us fight like this. We have to learn from one another and teach our children about history. Young or old. These things are not in text books nor is it with the people of someone of the youngest that are in the Corps now.
I've enlisted in the Corps when Desert Storm was going on. I wanted to be in front lines when that happen but being female I had to do something else.
Anyway, as I go into my new unit in Pendleton. I've met and worked with the finest Marines around. My CO and an WO was shoot down in Desert Storm. I hear the stories of the Marines that were there and to see the hurt in some faces.
Not comparing Nam to Desert Storm but hearing the story of WO Hunter that was in both wars. At the time he had 30 yrs in the corps. From Nam then Desert Storm. WO Hunter had experience the old corps and new. It was my honor to work with person.
If anyone recalls Desert Storm, the person that they showed on the news of the pow that was beaten up that was WO Hunter.
Anyway, I have not been to war. But if I had to do it all over again. I would be in the front lines with my bros in afgan right now.
9/11 has done somthing to our nation but we are not forgetting that we are still at war in the middle east.
Please I ask lets stop fight among each other. We are Marines and I'm proud to be one. Whether old and new we are reunioned in more ways then one.
Semper Fi everyone
