My hat is off to those in uniform. They are the finest among us.
My Dad was USMC. Of course he would say "is".

They dont sit on the bus....did you catch that?
Dad, emails me stuff everyday and most days I dont read it but yesterday I did. Here's what he sent.
Every now and then, in the middle of the constant barrage of trash that annoys most of us, comes a story, a feat, an event that makes us feel good.
This was one for me.
Cody Green was a 12-year Indiana boy, diagnosed with leukemia at age two. He loved the Marines. His parents said he drew strength and courage from the Marine Corps as he bravely fought the battle into remission three times. Although he was cancer-free at the time, the chemotherapy had lowered his immune system and he developed a fungus infection that attacked his brain. Two weeks ago, as he struggled to fend off that infection in the hospital, the Marines wanted to show how much they respected his will to live, his strength, honor and courage. They presented Cody with Marine navigator wings and named him an honorary member of the United States Marine Corps.
For one Marine, that wasn’t enough ... so the night before Cody Green passed away he stood guard at Cody’s hospital door all night.
Nowhere on this planet is there a country so blessed as ours to have such men and women. This American Marine, like so many of our service men and women are true patriots and wonderful people.
