The Right Stuff

So he made it back. My first cousin, John, made it back from Iraq and I got to visit with him today. This was his second tour of duty as a reserve Marine MP spending most of this tour patrolling the Syrian border.

Here is a young man acutely aware of God's divine hand, in his early twenties, with no wife or children and yet, truly loves his country and is willing to lay down his life for our privilege to eat grilled chicken on a Sunday afternoon without worrying about picking RPG fragments from our potato salad.

He's got the right stuff - Semper Fi !
