Last night we had a congratulations party for my nephew,, if you think your tough,, try a marines boot camp … you better be tough physically and mentally or you won’t make it. Officially a leatherneck, devil dog, United States marines. Even though I was having pain issues,,, I still made it a priority to be there,,, I can at least be tough for him

Those dress blues sure are sharp. Congratulations to him!
A deranged student with a rifle had no problem getting into a school. A student with a bible would have been stopped immediately.
