Semper Gratus!

To celebrate the 231st anniversary of the Birth of the Corps, I will match all contributions made to the Marine Team on November 10th up to a total of

$2,500

That’s right, I’m puttin’ my money where my big mouth is and committing to kicking in some major bling to make sure the Marines beat those other “support” services.

You give $5, I kick in $5. You give $500, I shell out $500. I’ll keep matching the contributions until y’all have contributed a total of $2,500 which will be matched by my $2,500.

That’s 5 big ones for the Project and will buy a bunch of voice-activated laptops for our heros!

We’re going to need all the contributions we can get since it appears that we’re going to have to fund this war all by ourselves from now on. With that witch Pelosi and her pals in possesion of the Nation’s purse strings and the Democrats getting nearer to realizing their wet dreams of creating another Vietnam “quagmire”, we’ve got to shoulder more of the burden of finishing the mission ourselves.

Did that light a fire under anyone’s butt? No? Then go read a Veterans’ Day story The Real American Hero over at Major Pain’s old site. Then come back and make a contribution either today or on Friday, November 10th when it will be doubled by me.

Since there are no dates associated with contributions listed in the “View All” page, I’ll have to see what the total is at midnight (EST) Thursday (the 9th), then see what the difference is at midnight on the 10th. I’ll double the difference, up to $2,500.

If you’re tapped out, that’s OK. You can still wish a Happy 231st Birthday to the USMC. Go to Milblogging.com, check out the blogs written by Marines, visit their sites and leave a nice message.
