Thank you! We still appreciate you. ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.” ― Adam Smith - “Wealth of Nations” | |||

I just helped out Spring Hill with a hunt during which we took a bunch of Marines hunting. Rest assured that today's Marines are mighty, mighty fine! God bless those that keep our honor clean. BTW, I "guided" Marines both in the morning and the afternoon. Both took deer with perfect shots. It made me proud to share a blind with them!

Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running...... "If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you." | |||

Mike & Friends: On this special occasion, a few choice comments on the beloved Corps: "The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!" Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady of the United States, 1945 "Gone to Florida to fight the Indians. Will be back when the war is over. Colonel Commandant Archibald Henderson, USMC in a note pinned to his office door, 1836 "The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle." Gen. John "Black Jack" Pershing, U.S. Army, Commander of American Forces in World War I "Freedom is not free, but the U.S. Marine Corps will pay most of your share." Ned Dolan "I come in peace, I didn't bring artillery. But I am pleading with you with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I'll kill you all." Marine General James Mattis, to Iraqi tribal leaders "Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if they have ever made a difference in the world, but the Marines don't have that problem." Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America Semper Fi and happy birthday. USMC Amphibious Reconnaissance School: Class 80-3(S), Ft. Story, Virginia - 30 years and a lifetime ago ...
