The latest from the FRO at 29 Palms

We have been asked not to post mailing addresses. I will email everyone with a mailing address as soon as it has been verified. We have been notified that flights will begin leaving soon.

From the FRO at 29 Palms:

Please disregard the mailing address that I emailed out. The address has been changed. I will email out the new address once we verify that it will not be changed again.

Stay tuned...

I think it is appropriate (as does Dana) that we start off the posts on this blog with a huge happy 21st birthday to Trey. As we speak , the 1/7 is preparing to deploy. Have the best birthday ever, Trey!
Luv ya!!
Mom

Happy Birthday Trey!

Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!

Who We Are

It was early that morning,

Only a handful was awake.

The time was slowly turning,

Each of us waiting for a break.

We all were surely tired

Every bone in our body ached

Pain is nothing but a feeling

The mind can overtake

We serve our country so proudly

Our minds set only on the mission

Never heard of the word cowardly

For we do not know the definition

The enemy is plotting against us

Wanting us dead in every way

We give our bodies and our souls

For the freedom of the U.S of A.

Our children will look back

Wondering how and what we did

Some of them will read about us

The others will want it hid

For we are the fighting forceAmerica's 911

No one else can be like us

We will fight and refuse to run

We are defined as Devil Dogs

Our patriotism is so true

We defend the colors of our country

The Red, White, and the Blue

You can join the other services

But why settle for second best

Our boundaries have no limits

The hell with all the rest

We come from cities big and small

From families rich and poor

We are considered a band of brothers

In the United States Marine Corps
