My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

May those who remain never forget the sacrifices of those who gave all in service to their country. May they forever rest in honored glory and peace.

Bsdaddict,

Those are not Marines. The Army guards the Tomb.
