We run across people all the time who say 'thanks for your service' but don't really do anything to show it. Not that we need it, but it's nice.Jordan Vezinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01253586526058716997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476170665926652807.post-18110466800139077972007-11-12T18:06:00.000-08:002007-11-12T18:06:00.000-08:00Dr. Mark,Nicely done.

Seems that more people are more interested in the arrests and rehab of celebrities than the real happenings around the world.<BR/><BR/>Keep lighting the darkness!<BR/><BR/>Be safe,<BR/>PetePetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11065624771957970054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476170665926652807.post-12551235613896399762007-11-11T17:48:00.000-08:002007-11-11T17:48:00.000-08:00Comrades Rif & Toomey,Thank you for your kind word...Comrades Rif & Toomey,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your kind words. I keep hoping that some insignificant gesture like mine will inspire those with more means than I to do more for those who do so much for us. And from a Devil Dog like Toomey, your words inspire me to do more.<BR/><BR/>Especially since I came back from the RKC II, I keep trying to think of ways to help some of the many vets that are down on their luck here in LA. God-willing, we'll be able to come up with something where Hard Style changes hard luck and really water the seeds of discipline, courage, and sacrifice with generosity, opportunity, and trust.<BR/><BR/>Sigh...., the things I'd do if I were a little more loaded.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18157425271518956980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476170665926652807.post-58207368995032536112007-11-11T12:30:00.000-08:002007-11-11T12:30:00.000-08:00O.K., so I kinda lied and am still checking out th...O.K., so I kinda lied and am still checking out things on the forum...I'm just not responding anymore.<BR/><BR/>If I were a courageous man, if I were putting my life on the line for others who may or may not know I exist, my sacrifice would all be made worthwhile reading the words you put down. <BR/><BR/>Some moronic politician said yesterday that America shouldn't be the world's policeman, it should be the world's conscience. What a load of horse crap. Without the will to act justly, and the power to direct that will, a conscience is as useless as a noodle in a knife fight. "Feelings" have replaced actions in our society as men give up their identity as men and acquiesce to those who tell us to move out of the cave and "evolve". Screw them, and I mean that in the most guttural, violent manner possible.<BR/><BR/>Panda and Mama Bear are lucky to have a warrior in their den. Just because you didn't pick up a weapon or wear a uniform doesn't mean anything. It's how we conduct ourselves through ALL of life's battles, the quiet, unseen ones as well as the horrific ones we see today, yesterday, and the thousands of yesterdays before.<BR/><BR/>That said, we owe an unpayable debt to every man and woman who wore cammies or BDU's, slept in a fighting hole or a squad bay, or served in Enid, OK or Bagdhad, Iraq.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, for acknowledging the sacrifice others have made for you and me, and everyone around us. As long as there is one person left to say "Thank You" outloud, there are thousands who will gladly continue to give.<BR/><BR/>Love you, brother.Mark Toomeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04462552719865583656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476170665926652807.post-27111600683294908422007-11-11T11:50:00.000-08:002007-11-11T11:50:00.000-08:00what a cool thing to do Doc, but then again, you'r...what a cool thing to do Doc, but then again, you're a cool guy.well done.Mark Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796716749125262941noreply@blogger.com
