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!

...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.

I salute and honor all our brave men and women in the military for their courage. but I object to your posting it like this. they didnt make the ultimate sacrifice this week, or even this year. lists like this have been passed around for some time. it's part of some chain email in which names get changed regularly.
you want to honor our fallen, then dont compare them to some lowlife dorks.

Yes, a friend sent it to me. Thought I would post it here because I knew it would be appreciated, by most.

:salute Those that serve are forever in our debt. :salute
Most here share that view but many other citizens deny reality and fill thier lives with trivial pursuits. They will never know the sacrifices made for them every day.

Welcome to the USA! did you just move here? If you did, then welcome to a nation on the way out. Make sure you watch TMZ so you can keep up to date on the important stuff.

When I entered service, I remember my pay being around 1500 a month (E3).. before taxes (Military is paid from taxes, yet they take taxes back out.. love that govt :confused:). If you figure it out, that was about $2.05/hr. Think about that.. $2.05 an hour.. That is truly pathetic. Waitresses earn more without tips, minimum wage has always been higher as far back as I can recall and now, on-top of all these perks to the jobs, they also have the right to have a church or protest invade their funeral because it's a First Amendment right...
:salute to the Soldiers, teachers and all those who are the true foundation of this great nation, because without you, we wouldn't have the ability to read the headlines about a sports star, or walk down our streets in peace. We wouldn't have a Constitution with which many hide behind while they denounce the very thing keeping their rights alive. Nor would we, or possibly much of the world, be relatively free to choose their own destiny...
$2.05 an hour.. the cost of a life and freedom is less than 2.05 an hour. Hero's indeed. :salute

Without a mention of the UK, Dutch, etc. forces serving as well.
:salute to them, and those I failed to mention.

And no offense Nypsy but why don't you go across the street and knock on your neighbors door and smack them. The individual is the problem, not society. Even half the people on this board would rather know what sooki is doing on Jersey Shore than what a Gunnery Sgt. did right before he was killed.

Semper Fi.
I am personally sick of this kind of thing. These spoiled babies are paraded across our Living Rooms everyday when we should shun and ignore them. Then those that sacrifice their all are ignored. A sign that we have our heads in the wrong place. Yeah I totally am on board with the comments about the overpaid overpampered "Atheletes" crying cause they only make $5 millon a year on a contract. Yeah I guess its tough on the court or the ball field aint it... I remember me and my A-Gunner figured we were making a whopping 22 1/2 cents an hour when we were in combat and that was with the Combat Pay Bonus figured in. I didnt hear much whining in my Platoon at least not like these candy donut babies.
You dont know what you got till its gone...... Pay day might be just around the corner if we dont figure it out.
