A Sailor and a Marine were in a bar….

A sailor and a Marine were in a bar drinking beer and arguing about which was the better service.

As the argument progressed, the Marine said, “We have Iwo Jima!”

The Sailor stated, “We have the Battle of Midway!”

The Marine corrected him and pointed out, “Not exactly, there were a lot of Marines who fought and lost their lives in that battle.” The Sailor conceded to the Marine that the Navy could not have won the battle without the help of the Marines.

Out of desperation, the sailor blurted out, “The Navy invented sex!”

With a big grin, the Marine retorted, “Maybe you did, but it was the Marines who introduced it to women!”

Goodbye Viet Nam

A Marine Corps veteran says “goodbye” to VietNam. It is a moving piece dealing with the common ailment of PTSD. It is real and affects many.

If you area Viet Nam Vet or know one, please share this link with them. It shows some closure that many search for.

Viet Nam Veterans need to check out this program from the VA. Agent Orange has caused many health problems for Viet Nam veterans and was ignored for far too many years by the Government. Please check out the link and share with others as needed.

Wounded Vet heckled at Columbia

Wounded Vet heckled at Columbia

This young Army Staff Sergeant was shot 11 times in a firefight in Iraq, came home to spend two years rehabilitating at Walter Reed and addressed a group at Columbia, where he is a student, and was met with jeers, catcalls and total disrespect.

I suggest that employers who see resume’s from folks who graduate Columbia, sincerely check them out and understand the quality of people they may be hiring. I personally wouldn’t hire any of them based on this response to a veteran who placed it all on the line.

I have nothing against them disagreeing with policy or the military, but to do so in such a low class, third world manner, doesn’t speak well for the students, their parents or the professors that influence them.

This does not necessarily reflect the views of the Marine Corps League and are entirely my own.. Dave Wojta

A buddy sent this link to me the other day and I think it’s really worth looking at. Many photos from the Pacific theater that you probably haven’t seen. It is amazing to me that so many photos have not made it to the public so many years after the war. These are some of the most graphic depictions that I have seen.PhotoBlog

Joke

Three ‘gentlemen’ are seated together on a cross-country plane trip.
After about an hour the first gentleman, by way of breaking the ice, puts down his New York Times and announces – “My name is Johnathon Smith.”

“Lt. General.”

“U.S. Army.”

“Retired.”

“Served in Korea and Vietnam.”

“Married.”

“Two sons.”

“Both Doctors.”

He picks up his paper and continues to read.

About half an hour later, the second gentleman puts down his Washington Post and says, “Dillard Jones.

“Major General.”

“U.S. Air Force.”

“Retired.”

“Served in Vietnam and Gulf War I.”

“Married.”

“Two sons.”

“Both Lawyers.”

He then picks up his paper and continues to read.

Later on, the third man puts down his Dailey Racing Form and grunts, “Gus Miller.”

“Gunnery Sergeant.”

“U.S. Marines Corps”

“Discharged”

“Served in Korea and Vietnam and Gulf War I and Gulf War II.”

“NEVER married.”

“Two sons, ——– Both Generals!”

Toys For Tots 2010

admin — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 02:52:37 +0000

This year’s Toys For Tots campaign was a great one comprised of the Second Annual Red Hat Ladies Spaghetti Dinner, our Detachment Christmas party and ending with the Sgt Santa Day at the VFW in Berkley.
Over 350 toys and over $400.00 in cash were collected and hopefully made Christmas brighter for many children in the Metro Detroit area.
Marine Wing Support Group 47 at Selfridge lent us a few good men resplendent in their Dress Blues and putting a “face” on the Toys For Tots Program. Many thanks to CWO Rich Pointe, GySgt Douglas Madajczyk and LCpls Robert Tykoski and Adam Richey for facing the cold wind and working in shifts to attract the attention of cars passing the VFW. Many returned with toys or cash.

Members working the event were Mike and Julie Lynch, Ken and Judy Murray, Al Kanigowski, Terry Dowhan, Don Lumsden, Rob Nast and Keith Unternahrer. The Boy Scout Troop from the VFW also assisted with carrying packages, clean up and other duties. Thanks boys! Special thanks to Jr Vice Tim McGee for being Sgt Santa! Can’t say enough about that…

Chaplain Keith Unternahrer made breakfast for all and it was some good chow!
All things considered, the results were great as this was our first year independent of the Troy connection. Great job!
