Cassy Fiano: Remembering Our Fallen

TD belatedly came across this Memorial Day post at the Cassy Fiano blog. She is the wife of a Camp Lejeune Marine and supports him and his buddies in every way she can, especially with this blog. I feel a special kinship with her family, having been stationed at "Swamp" Lejeune with Alpha 1/2 back in 1959-61.
This post is very special for Memorial Day as she recognizes buddies of her husband who have paid the ultimate price. But these men deserve recognition year-round and any day is good to post this.
The riff-raff occupying our cities for some time are not fit to carry the baggage of these young Marines.
God bless you, Cassy.

"These are just seven of the countless servicemembers who have given their lives for their country. These are just our fallen. Today, I hope that you’ll see their names, look at their faces, and read what is just a small fraction of the lives they led. So often, we turn the fallen into nothing more than a man in a uniform who became a hero. We need to remember not just the sacrifices they made, but the lives they lived and the people they were. Take the time to remember the 6 men we lost from 1/8, to remember Balthaser, and everyone who gave their lives so that we could be free."

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. -- Ronald Reagan

Like you said, OWS riff raff just don't measure up to the Marines!


BTW, here in Seattle the OWS scum will withdraw Saturday in defeat from Westlake Park after a month long duel with the Seattle PD that turned their attempted occupation of a city park into a living hell.


If the Left cannot occupy a few city parks in moderate Leftist dominated large American cities, I say they go down in defeat big time next year when the Righteous owners of this country get mobilized.
