A.C.L.U. is upset with the US Marine Corps

[82Rigger]

Interesting article I received via email:

If you look closely at the picture below, you will note that all the Marines pictured are bowing their heads. That's because they're praying.

This incident took place at a recent ceremony honoring the birthday of the Corps, and it has the ACLU up in arms. "These are federal employees," says Lucius Traveler, a spokesman for the ACLU, "on federal property and on federal time. For them to pray is clearly an establishment of religion, and we must nip this in the bud immediately."

When asked about the ACLU's charges, Colonel Jack Fessender, speaking for the Commandant of the Corps said (cleaned up a bit), "Screw the ACLU." GOD Bless Our Warriors, Send the ACLU to France.

At times, it is very difficult to discern fact from fiction. Junk and hoax emails clog internet servers and can be as much of a nuisance as telemarketers, and email is the prime carrier of viruses. There are those who believe that Spam and ?junk? email will be the demise of the Internet as a useful tool.

It goes to show you there is a reverence about our troops and the honor they show toward God and Country. Great photo.

Urban myth, legend, or just plain fairy tale, the message to the ACLU is still relevant. Except I would have used a more definitive action verb.

My salute and GarryOwen to Colonel Jack Fessender (even though A Marine).

Finally, and I knew if I just hung-around long enough,...someone would FINALLY come up with a correct, proper and quite astute response for The ACLU and/or any other type foreigner or foreign favoring over The American Citizenry type pompous-ass NUTS.

Thank You Colonel Jack (no doubt from MANY, MANY, MANY, other than just myself).
