Marines

[Nypsy]

Charlie Sheen is 45 and his story is all over the news because he is a
substance abuser, an adulterer, and sexually promiscuous.

Lindsay Lohan is 24 and her story is all over the news because
she's a celebrity drug addict and thief

           While...............

Justin Allen 23, Brett Linley 29, Matthew Weikert 29, Justus Bartett 27, Dave Santos 21, Jesse Reed 26, Matthew Johnson 21, Zachary Fisher
24, Brandon King 23, Christopher Goeke 23, and Sheldon Tate 27..........are all Marines that gave their lives this week for you.  There is
no media for them; not even a mention of their names.
           Honor THEM by sending this on!

A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed
itself from within.

...these U.S Marines deserve our Country's Honor and Recognition for their individual and combined sacrifices, but above all else, these U.S. Marines deserve our individual Honor and Recognition for their individual and collective sacrifiices.

Confused? I'm sure Hollywood is because Charlie and Lindsay have yet to serve in Iraq, or Afghanistan, and neither has sacrificed anything that can even minutely, or remotely, compare to the sacrifices voluntarily given by our U.S. Marines, or other Forces.

This goes for the same for the professional athletes. Some of them cry about not getting pay enough (over $500,000 minimal) just the catch a ball or hit a ball or throw a ball through a hoop. Some may get a $1 million dollar bounce for making the winning touchdown or win the championship game. 

Meanwhile, a solder is deployed for months, across sea, away from their family. He/she has to sleep on the ground (wet or dry, cold or warm), eat the bare minimum decent food, never have a vacation while on their tour, cannot enjoy simple everyday life while on tour and is consistently being shot at, RPG attacks, IED attacks, see your buddies get killed and face to take somebodies life away. When your deployment is over, it can range from walking off the AC to never make it home at all (MIA). Oh, and the average pay for the grunt solder that has to do all these things, $19-$30.   

So who is the hero?

Did you get this in an e-mail?

Just curious.

It was actually in the L.A. Times.

I guess it's just not entertainment news for some of us.
