"Quote of the Day"

"There are only two kinds of people that understand Marines: Marines and the enemy.
Everyone else has a second-hand opinion."
-- Gen. William Thornson, U.S. Army

I watched a PBS documentary on the Marines earlier this afternoon. And although I already have the utmost respect for them (since my younger brother is one), I've gained even more. This quote is for Ben, as well as Adam -- my roomate's younger brother. Ben is a veteran rifleman (returning to Iraq in 2008); Adam is a Marine officer in training. Semper Fidelis. Thank you.
