A Little About Me

For my first post, I wanted to tell everyone a little about me. I am a Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant. I have served my country for 13 years and can think of nothing else I would rather do with my life. You see, I was raised in a military friendly family. My father was a Marine in the Vietnam war. I was raised with such a high sense of patriotism that really, even though I fought it in my youth, the military is where I always knew I would end up. When it came time to join the military, my pride in my fathers service drove me to the Marine Corps. As he always said "Glenn, if you're gonna put yourself in harms way, you may as well be the best trained you can be." In short, I love my country. I think this is the greatest country God gave man. I believe that God graced the founding fathers with a knowledge of government that we today can never fathom. Lately, I have seen some changes in my country. No, this is not a blast Obama post. This has been going on since the Hoover administration. It's only now that everything has been put in fast forward. Things like class envy, marginalization, race baiting, and environmentalism among many other things have put the wheels in motion for the country we leave to our children to be vastly different then we recieved it. I will touch on these things throughout the course of my blog life as I see them happening. Hopefully to educate whatever small audience I may have. As you read my blog, please keep in mind that at no time do I claim to speak for the Marine Corps or the military. I speak as one person who happens to be a Marine. Thanks for reading.
