Terrorism, with Shakespeare's Henry V, St. Crispin Day Speech--the finest
speech in literature--as narration. This is a very powerful video, and please be aware that

..........and from this war, over 8,000 Marines have been wounded.
We honor their dedication to their country, and our Association owes it
to them to
provide whatever service we can to make their lives
easier because.......... | |
THIS BAND OF BROTHERS LEAVES NO MARINE BEHIND | |
A manifestation of the Marine Corps "Band of brothers, leave no man behind"
ethic is the new Wounded Warriors Center. Wounded Warriors--Marines hurt in the heat of battle--now have a place at which to
come home at Camp Pendleton. In August, 2006, a year after a center was
opened at Camp Lejeune, the Wounded Warrior Center was opened at Camp Pendleton to help our
Marines make that difficult transition between hospital and home. Scout
Sniper Association Ambassador, Jim Gularte, regularly visits our Wounded
Warriors at the center. | |
WE CONTINUE THE FIGHT |
We continue our fight for Scout Sniper Association member, 23-year-old Sgt
Eddie Ryan. On April 23, 2005, while manning a rooftop position
along with other members of his sniper platoon, a bullet pierced Eddie's
brain. It was quickly followed by a second shot that smashed into
his jaw.
Facing a
lifetime medical bill that could balloon into the millions, Veterans
Affairs officials announced that care for this wounded Marine would be
cut back. The family is fighting back, and we are helping.
