We were under tyrannical control and absurd taxes<br \/>\nwere being levied. \u00a0The tax revenue was being returned to the Monarchy<br \/>\nand bureaucracy in Britain to be squandered on their lavish life<br \/>\nstyle. \u00a0Corruption was rampant, our borders were not secure and there<br \/>\nwere pirates on the high seas. \u00a0Actually, this is almost the same<br \/>\nscenario today, of course we have added to the danger.<\/p>\n<p>Our armed forces, our Marine Corps, know what it is to taste our own<br \/>\nblood. \u00a0That blood mixed with the taste of foreign soil we endure to<br \/>\nprotect our homeland. \u00a0America we love you. \u00a0Thank you for giving us<br \/>\ntwo hundred and thirty-six years to serve you. \u00a0We will always be here<br \/>\nto answer the call.<\/p>\n<p>When tyrants attempt to diminish our Corps, we will grow stronger.<br \/>\nThis is not Memorial Day, a day we honor our departed. \u00a0It is our<br \/>\nbirthday. \u00a0Tomorrow is our future. \u00a0Tomorrow, America will still need<br \/>\na few good men willing to lay their lives on the line for our freedom.<br \/>\nWe know the difference, we are ready, we know what to do and we do it<br \/>\nwell, in spite of all adversity.<\/p>\n<p>God Bless and Semper Fi,<br \/>\nPeterR<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Late, UA, problems getting on board I think we have it now, like a wet net &hellip; <a title=\"Happy Belated Birthday&#8230;or as you were\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=27443\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Happy Belated Birthday&#8230;or as you were<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":618,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27443","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-military-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27443","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/618"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=27443"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27443\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=27443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=27443"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=27443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
