Hammurabi, USMC - DMR
Yeah, so Gmail just ate about 1/2 hour of my writing. ... The long and the short of it is that yesterday, Charlie, our dog, was put down by order of the Commanding General. I want to break someone's jaw. Charlie was the only innocent fun we had here. ... Final Role Call PFC Dog, Charlie First Joined the Marines of "C" Company in October 2003. Voluntarily Transferred to "A" Company on September 11, 2004. Meritoriously promoted PFC on Nov 27, 2004. Executed on Nov28, 2004 for performing to the utmost of his abilities. Charlie's unquestioning love and unfaultering motivation will be sorely missed. He spent his life in keeping with the highest standards of the Marine Corps. Semper Fi. ... We could use more Marines like Charlie. It's the brainless idiots that we have too many of. ... :D
