Never Forget

 

[HOUSTON RICK]

One of my high school buddies was not in the demolished building but was nearby, he was killed in a car accident (Springdale Road & Princeton Pike, Rusty) near his home a few months later and a few weeks before his first children was born. RIP Mark. Not Forgotten.

A young neighbor, a Marine, had slept in that building the previous night. He spent the next days recovering the bodies of his buddies. His parents had to wait two weeks for news of his survival.

That was typically military, no proper road blocks or other obstructions . the sentries instructed to have a loaded magazine in their weapons but empty chambers, safeties on. A 5.56 isn't a very good anti-vehicle round.

God bless our service men & women that are placed in harm's way to keep our Nation strong! They don't always know how much danger they are in, but they know the potential is there, and they go anyway.

Our military is what keeps us civilians safe. Prayers for those that have paid the ultimate price, and those still willing to do so to keep us safe. God Bless America and our Service men & women!

Marines I went to boot camp with died there.
I will never forget, and I will NEVER forgive.

There are so many, I just get teary eyed thinking about them. Guess that's the problem of living this long.

I lost a friend there. Major William Winter USMC, a fellow Auburn midshipman.

Rest In Peace Bill. You will always be missed.

One of the lessons from this that has been proven over and over again since is that it is very difficult to defend yourself against an enemy who is willing to give up their life to kill you.

I beleive two Marine guards stood their ground, firing their 5.56 cal weapons at the oncoming truck bomb until it exploded.

Different event.

One sentry got off one round, the 5.56 doesn't work too well against vehicles.
That barracks was wide open even though they were in a danger zone.

Young men, protecting their country: they will always be missed and God will keep them.

Remember who they were dealing with and the way they kill.
