A Quiet Hero
I would like to discuss A Quiet Hero!
I paid a visit a few weeks back to someone whom we all know but seldom hear anything about in the media chaff which so intrudes in our lives.
This was my third visit to see the gentleman- and he was definitely an officer and gentleman. He’s not much for talk but his place of abode takes the need to talk away anyway. I said my usual few words of greeting and salutation and told him how he had always been an inspiration to jarheads like me and that he held the dubious honor of being the first Marine to address the Muslim Terrorist Threat. He did it with a flourish, with only seven Marines and a ragtag group of Tripoli natives and saved a bunch of squids while he was at it. His act of heroism added a word to our history and our Anthem as well as a hilt to a sword- the word is “Tripoli”. The country he defeated in battle is now known as Libya.
