I was that which others did not want to be.
I went where others feared to go
I asked nothing from those who gave nothing
And reluctantly accepted that thought of
Eternal loneliness . . . should I fall.
I have seen the face of terror;
Felt the stinging cold of fear;
And enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments' love.
I have cried, pained, and hoped . . .
But most of all, I have lived times
others would say are best forgotten.
At least someday I will be able to say
That I was proud of what I was
A Marine.



God Bless You L/Cpl. Ford

I have a slight upgrade on this .. I was contacted by an Marine official, he has said this will most liklely rise to a comfirmed mission. He is keeping posted on the progress and let me know when the time comes with all the details. When I get the word I will notify the members and turn it over to the Regional Ride Captain (RRC) Richcop for coordination and futher details.

Please remember this has not made it to the level of a "Confirmed Mission" as of yet. But be prepared as best as you can.

Thank you all,
