For two and a half centuries, the United States Marine Corps has been defending the lives and liberties of the United States citizenry. Recently, certain “elected” members of Congress have found it to be politically expedient (trolling for votes) to bash, and to spread false information, about our proud young men and women who are willing to die in service to their country.

Newsmax has an enlightening article about the voter pandering of just one elected representative. The article encapsulates the trials and travails of Marine Lance Cpl. Justin Sharratt as he dutifully served to protect his comrades during an insurgent ambush in Haditha, Iraq on Nov. 19, 2005.

Those of us baby boomers, old enough to remember the service of not just the Marines, but all who have proudly served, probably don’t need to be reminded of the sacrifice made by the few. Nevertheless, please read the article, then write, call or email the offending Representative and express your displeasure with his actions.

I’m proud of the fact that I DID.
