Choosing What Matters

Park Semper Fi - San Clemente, CA - 7/31/2020

Eight Marines and one Navy sailor were killed in a training accident on Friday. We probably won't hear much about this tragedy, as the media is much more concerned with trashing President Trump, protecting Joe Biden, and defending the "mostly peaceful" protests in major American than in honoring the sacrifices of our military heroes.

But nine brave young men who stepped up to lay their lives on the line for the United States have paid that ultimate price. They each knew the risks when they signed up; they knew this end was possible. Yet they joined.

The fact that our country is still blessed with such courageous and dedicated young people gives me hope for our future. I'm grateful for their service and pray they rest in peace.
