"Semper Fidelis" from Iraq

Sgt. Major David Fox (Steve Hunyar's friend) in Iraq.

His C.O. had just told him he was selected for Sergeant Major. We were getting ready to go back up to the entry control point and he gave me the news.
Congratulations Sgt. Major! "Semper Fi" - "Always faithful."

Sgt. Major David Fox standing next to the Air Base sign. This sign was at entry control point. This is where we saw the most of the terrorist activity to include that horrible VBIED I witnessed.

Sgt. Major David Fox, standing with his C.O. Major Leon Millholland (A tall country boy from Dawsonville, Georgia) and one of our Iraqi Interpreters. This was the first free election in Iraq and I was proud to have participated. (Yes Sgt. Major Fox, a day in history -- like so many because of our brave men and women like you in our military services. You make us proud 24/7. How can we ever thank you enough ? Semper Fi !)

"Gentlemen, it is an honor for me to serve this country and to serve patriots like yourselves!"

"My home town is Columbus, Ohio.

I would be remiss in my duties if I didn’t tell you what an outstanding bunch of Marines I had served with in Iraq. They all hailed from Georgia and they were some of the bravest Marines I ever met. They never complained, they believed in what we were doing and they made our mission a success. - Sgt. Major David Fox"

The meaning of "Semper Fidelis"

Semper Fidelis; Always Faithful. The Few. The Proud. The Marines.

America is moving in the wrong direction!

We must refocus to return to our values and the foundations upon which our Republic was formed, and has been built by hard work, sweat and sacrifice by the American people throughout our great history. A great people of character, substance, purpose, strength, devotion and love for freedom, liberty and justice for all.

And perserved by the men and women who have worn the uniforms of our military branches. Over 43,000,000 and counting. Over one million have given their all -- their lives; over 1,400,000 have been wounded -- for our country, the United States of America, 'the land of the free, and home of the brave'.

We must not forget these brave souls, and their families who also bore so much, who risk it all for defending and protecting our nation, our cities, our neigborhoods -- the very streets on which we live, the churches where we worship, and the schools we send our children to for a better chance in life. They paid a price -- for 'the price of freedom, liberty and justice for all' is very high. These blessings and opportunities are not free, and all must do their part to protect and maintain the great gifts bestowed upon us. It is the responsibility of every citizen, not government agencies and taxpayer dollars and programs. If left up to government, then none are free - but slaves to government. History throughout the world, and all nations, is a very complete, accurate record of the destiny of man, the rise and fall of societies. The weak fall into mediocrity - a lower state of existence; the strong mature, strive and work for a better present and future.

For me, and my household, I chose the latter.

So, I encourage a review, a heartfelt one, of these two paths to a better, stronger future for America:

America the Disposable; The Culture War During the Era of Apathy

Quotes:

"The Marines have landed; America the Disposable has landed; Semper Fi!"- Sergeant Major David E. Fox, United States Marine Corp

"The word needs to get out. Those of us who have seen the devaluation of life and social distortions over the last 40 years can see where we are headed.

Unfortunately, the young do not see it. Wisdom and age come with the price of seeing and understanding. Sometimes the price is very high." - author, Steve Hunyar.

"Liberalism has so many tentacles. Each on their own seemed harmless, but as each has come together, it has morphed into monstrosity of socialism, which is bearing fruit now. We have to stop it at all levels. A decidedly targeted attack is necessary. I pray each day that we will have the fortitude to make the sacrifices of forefathers and on our soldiers today have not gone for nothing.

The book attempts to arm conservatives with more facts. Liberals will not listen to facts, but independent minded people will. And certainly, the young. We need the young to stand up and take notice. They need to know that only 40 years ago, none of us had alarms on our homes and our cars. What has happened?" - author, Steve Hunyar.

"We all pay a big price - every man, woman and child, the young and the old. Particularily those who serve in the military and as 1st responders who answer the call to duty to defend and protect us as we go about our daily lives. Freedom, liberty and justice for all has a price - it does not come easy, it is not free or without an effort and individual responsibility." - Bill's Country, the old Guardsman and volunteer firefighter.

Patrick Henry, who is called the firebrand of the American Revolution, is still remembered for his words, "Give me liberty or give me death." But in current textbooks the context of these words is deleted. Here is what he said: "An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. But we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God that presides over the destinies of nations. The battle sir, is not of the strong alone. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death."
These sentences have now been erased from our textbooks.

AND

James Madison, the primary author of the Constitution of the United States, said this: "We have staked the whole future of our new nation, not upon the power of government; far from it. We have staked the future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments."
Today we are asking God to bless America. But how can He bless a Nation that has departed so far from Him?

It is up to us to help guide America back 0n the right course ! That course as intended by our founding fathers.

Will you help ????

America needs us all !

God bless America, abundantly !
