A Confederate Marine is still a Marine

There are those who will dispute this entry, but it is one that must be made.

When I was for no really good reason, rejected by the Union’s Marine Corps, I enlisted in the faithful and intelligent Confederate Marines, similar to the AVG.

In 30 years of combat mostly by air and aviation I rose to the rank of Colonel. I saw 3 tours in Iraq, 2 tours in South America and 3 tours in the Solomon Islands.

Even with that and many do not understand the differences and there are very few, but those differences are strictly political philosophy , not dedication to country, or dedication to defending the principals that were made both law and vision of our southern founding fathers. Many of which would be good now and should be recognized by a Union government that has lost its way and its reason for being. The fact is; the saying Once a Marine always a Marine is still the pride of all Marines, Confederate or Union. We have engrained in us from boot camp to the final discharge, swords raised overhead the three things that guide us in our daily lives, Strength, Duty, Sacrifice. And connecting those the circle of honor.

Just remember that this 4th of July, when the Union celebrates the idea of independence, the USA is not independent, nor united. The fact is, A Confederate Marine is still a Marine, and we too deserve honor by the citizens of both our confederacy as well as the Union.

The government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. - Ronald Reagan
