@Mrgunsngear Shirt not creased, tie not two-blocked, tie bar not parallel to the deck, belt too long, (haircut and facial hair go without saying). If I were to guess, he was recalled from civilian life last minute to receive the award. Still a Marine-Bravo Zulu and SFMF!

@Guntalk Have you considered the Parris Island Shooting Academy?

@Arkypatriot That they only serve in The President’s Own is reflected in their rank insignia - a music lyre rather than crossed rifles, etc. when in the service uniform. When wearing the performance uniform (the red blouse) enlisted members wear no rank insignia

HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD:
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are FACTS.

Up until the 1980's, Social Security cards expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes.
Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message was removed.

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. His promises are in black, with updates in brackets.

1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary [No longer voluntary],

2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program [Now 7.65% on the first $90,000, and 15% on the first $90,000 if you’re self-employed],

3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year [No longer tax deductible]

4.) That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program [Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent]

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income [Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed].

Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ — you may be interested in the following.

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?

A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US

AND MY FAVORITE:

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?

A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments!

The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!

Now, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!

And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!

If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, though.

Some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn’t so but it’s worth a try.

How many people can YOU send this to?

Did you know these strange but true facts about our great state 48?

Arizona: Where even the cacti have more rights than you:

- We were the LAST contiguous state to join the Union… on Valentine’s Day in 1912. Romantic, right?

- Kill a saguaro cactus = up to 1 year in prison. (they’re basically our state pets)

- We let women vote 8 years BEFORE the rest of the country. Girl power since forever!

- Our name literally means “little spring”… yeah, in a state that’s mostly desert.

Geographical & Natural Oddities:

- We bought the real London Bridge for $2.4M, shipped it, and rebuilt it in Lake Havasu. England’s loss, our vibe.

- The Sonoran Desert can freeze solid, that’s why saguaros stop at a certain line. Prickly but dramatic!

- Montezuma Well: A sinkhole pumping 1.5 million gallons of arsenic water a day… but it has its own unique creatures that live nowhere else. Nature’s toxic spa.

- Grand Canyon has ZERO dinosaur fossils, the rocks are way older. Sorry, Jurassic Park fans.

Weirdest facts:

- First McDonald’s drive-thru? Born in Sierra Vista in 1975, because soldiers couldn’t leave their cars in uniform.

- In 1997, the Governor and half of Phoenix saw a giant V-shaped UFO. Still no explanation.

- Our flag has a copper star because we’re America’s #1 copper producer. Bling on the flag!

- We have more mountains than Switzerland… and way better sunsets.

Arizona: Dry, prickly, and proudly weird. 😎🌵
