This is a great decision IMHO. Don`t think Pappy would appreciate a monument of himself surrounded by clueless, ungratefull morons.
Democracy is two wolves deciding on what to eat. Freedom is a well armed sheep protesting the vote.

In addition, the University of Washington Foundation has established a new Lt. Col. Gregory "Pappy" Boyington Memorial Scholarship Fund. This fund will provide scholarships to undergraduate students who are either United States Marine Corps veterans or are the children of a United States Marine Corps veteran. Nearly $18,500 in gifts and pledges have already been raised. For more information, please see Boyington Memorial Scholarship Fund.



Now there's something worth sending some money to.

If that ain't true, I don't know what is...  Way too long for a sig line though, unfortunately :)
