QOTD

"Motivated more by partisan politics than by national security, today's Democratic leaders see America as an occupier, not a liberator. And nothing makes this Marine madder than someone calling American troops occupiers rather than liberators." --Zell Miller

Happy Birthday, Marines!

Brazoria County Ring of Honor Memorial

In Brazoria County, Texas, the current memorial for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice is located inside the county courthouse. Unfortunately, this presents two problems. First, the memorial is too small to put all the names of the fallen. Second, due to security changes after 9/11/2001, the current memorial is inaccessible.

A new memorial has been designed to go outside the courthouse. Funds are being raised to get it built. The plan is to have it built soon, so that it can be dedicated on Veteran's Day 2010.

Please help by joining the cause on Facebook and inviting others so that the word gets out. If may also donate funds if you desire, but it is not mandatory.

Thank you and Semper Fi!
