Hank White served Corps and country for many years. Dedication, sacrifice and hardship were his primary rewards - those are all a Marine needs to feel he has done his duty.
Hank will be missed, and losing his wit and humor will leave this world a little sadder place.

Semper Fidelis, Marine.

THE UNITED STATES NAVY SALUTES OUR  U.S. MARINE CORPS...
THE MARINES WANT THIS TO ROLL ALL OVER THE U.S. , Canada and The World

Please don't delete this until you send it on, Let's send it around the world.

FRIENDS ARE BORN, NOT MADE

This is a poem being sent from a Marine to his Dad. For those who take the time to read it, you'll see a letter from him to his dad at the bottom. It makes you truly thankful  for not only the Marines, but ALL of our troops.

THE MARINE

We all came together,
Both young and old
To fight for our freedom,
To stand and be bold.

In the midst of all evil,
We stand our ground,
And we protect our country
From all terror around..

Peace and not war,
Is what some people say.
But I'll give my life,
So you can live the American way.

I give you the right
To talk of your peace.
To stand in your groups,
And protest in our streets.

But still I fight on,
I don't bitch, I don't whine.
I'm just one of the people
Who is doing your time.

I'm harder than nails,
Stronger than any machine.
I'm the immortal soldier,
I'm a U..S. MARINE!

So stand in my shoes,
And leave from your home.
Fight for the people who hate you,
With the protests they've shown.
Fight for the stranger,
Fight for the young.
So they all may have,
The greatest freedom you've won.

Fight for the sick,
Fight for the poor.
Fight for the cripple,
Who lives next door.

But when your time comes,
Do what I've done.
For if you stand up for freedom,
You'll stand when the fight's done.

Hey Dad,

Do me a favor and label this 'The Marine' and send it to
everybody on your email list. Even leave this letter in it. 
I want this rolling all over the US and Canada and The World.

I want every home reading it. Every eye
seeing it. And every heart to feel it. So can you please
send this for me? I would but my email time isn't that
long and I don't have much time anyway.

You know what Dad? I wondered what it would be like to
truly understand what JFK said in his inaugural speech.
'When the time comes to lay down my life for my country,
I do not cower from this responsibility. I welcome it.'
Well, now I know. And I do.. Dad, I welcome the
opportunity to do what I do. Even though I have left
behind a beautiful wife, and I will miss the birth of
our first born child, I would do it 70 times over to
fight for the place that God has made for my home. I
love you all and I miss you very much.  I wish I could
be there when Sandi has our baby, but tell her that I
love her, and Lord willing, I will be coming home soon.
Give Mom a great big hug from me and give one to
yourself too. Aaron

Please let this marine (and all our military) know we
care by passing his poem onto your friends even if you
don't usually take time to forward mail...do it this time!

Thanks,

Let's help Aaron's dad spread the word...FREEDOM IS NOT FREE

Someone pays for you and me.
