Generally like most of you guys I'm not one to pass on chain letters but this one got to me a little and so I felt compelled to post it where I believe as many people will be able to see it as possible. Do with it what you will but listen to it's message and appreciate what our service people do for us. This poem/letter was sent by a Marine overseas in the middle east, to his father whom he asked to pass on and e-mail to everyone he knew. At the bottom of the poem is a letter this Marine wrote to his father, pretty touching, at least for me it was. So like I said feel free to pass it on, just read, pass over it, but don't forget who's out there fighting for us. THE MARINE We all came together, Both young and old To fight for our freedom, To stand and be bold. In the midst of all evil, We stand our ground, And we protect our country From all terror around. Peace and not war, Is what some people say. But I'll give my life, So you can live the American way. I give you the right To talk of your peace. To stand in your groups, and protest in our streets. But still I fight on, I don't bitch, I don't whine. I'm just one of the people Who is doing your time. I'm harder than nails, Stronger than any machine. I'm the immortal soldier, I'm a U.S. MARINE! So stand in my shoes, And leave from your home. Fight for the people who hate you, With the protests they've shown. Fight for the stranger, Fight for the young. So they all may have, The greatest freedom you've won Fight for the sick, Fight for the poor Fight for the cripple, Who lives next door. But when your time comes, Do what I've done. For if you stand up for freedom, You'll stand when the fight's done By: Corporal Aaron M. Gilbert, US Marine Corps USS SAIPAN, PERSIAN GULF March 23, 2003 Hey Dad, Do me a favor and label this 'The Marine' and send it to everybody on your email list. Even leave this letter in it. I want this rolling all over the US ; I want every home reading it. Every eye seeing it. And every heart to feel it. So can you please send this for me? I would but my email time isn't that long and I don't have much time anyway. You know what Dad? I wondered what it would be like to truly understand what JFK said in His inaugural speech. 'When the time comes to lay down my life for my country, I do not cower from this responsibility. I welcome it.' Well, now I know. And I do. Dad, I welcome the opportunity to do what I do. Even though I have left behind a beautiful wife, and I will miss the birth of our first born child, I would do it 70 times over to fight for the place that God has made for my home.< I love you all and I miss you very much. I wish I could be there when Sandi has our baby, but tell her that I love her, and Lord willing, I will be coming home soon. Give Mom a great big hug from me and give one to yourself too. Aaron Please let this marine (and all our military) know we care by passing his poem onto your friends even if you don't usually take time to forward mail...do it this time! Thanks, Let's help Aaron's dad spread the word FREEDOM isn't FREE Someone pays for you and me. God bless you!

doesn't everyone come from a vagina? Yes. It wasn't a cut-down. I just wanted to type the word vagina, and your post seemed as good an "opening" as any. ;D I know I didn't take it as you cutting me down, that's why I posted such a blatant comment in return lol

a Limey is someone from Liverpool And Germans are from vaginas. So what....? ;) doesn't everyone come from a vagina?

a Limey is someone from Liverpool

I'll be your 3rd Dubya!

nope not me lol and furthermore it could be HAVOC, it's not that hard to have your IP address change on a regular basis

yeah totally frisco, if you can't make this tourney, stick around cause there are MORE to come! And the money may be going to support the UF Staff for their time...but that doesn't mean they can't get some company to sponsor a grand prize such as they did for UF3

5. Riot Act is the Tac Map Tourney we've been waiting for

In order to play in the best tournament you have to be willing to cough a little something up, nothing in life is free, especially when it's this good. I don't think the $25 is much to ask, especially if everyone chips in. And I don't recall Tow, Sniper, or any of the other UF admins declaring there was no prize. To our knowledge something may still be in the works and word will be released on it come beginning of the tourney or something like that. You need to have faith and so does you clan, having the privilege of playing in Urgent Fury should be prize enough for paying the $25.

because she looks like a dog mauled her in the face every day of her life

She makes me want to punch a baby in the face...I like rice...just not her

In a bar...there you'll not only find shit and piss, you'll also find vomit, period blood, alcohol, that creamy white stuff women get when they don't wash for a few days, and sometimes there's toilet paper from when the prior person made there nest and either pissed on it or someone else right after them did.

No my 360 acted in 2 completely different ways before they died. My comment was just a tease at what could possibly happen. And I feel the PS3 is a better system because of it's capapbilites which have yet to be fully utilized and the fact that it's a bluray player...and well Sony won the Bluray/HD-DVD war. the "more informed and smarter consumer" comment was just me busting your balls, because if that was true I never would have bought a 360 to begin with.

how do you do this? I'm not too literate with this, it would definitely be nice if you could show us an example, so I can use this suggestion as well. I didn't know about this and it'll come in handy.

the whole point of these games is not to use google or any other search engine, it's to actually know the stuff Chili it's your turn

I was victimized twice by the red circle, thus why I sold my 360 and went with the better system sorry but I'm not stupid, just a more informed and smarter consumer

that rolling feature, definitely rocked my world! I've been waiting for news this exciting for a long time.

the red circle is coming...

you just need to learn how to squat over the toilet and hope that the splash doesn't get on the back of your pants... and I'm not gay Deadly...ask your momma how you were born

Nice site, it kicks ass! I love the layout of the site, it's very impressive and different

screw survivor
