    One INCREDIBLE Marine

    This deserves to be HERE, on the Shooters.com forum, lest we ever, ever forget. . .

    This is one incredible Marine, and he STUNS the crowd.

    I had to blink away some tears at the end. I'm just getting old, I reckon, and more emotional. Either that, or it's patriots like this incredible Marine that rekindle the pride I once had for serving in the military.

    It is truly a shame that there are not more like him putting good use to the air in Washington.

    Lord, make me fast and accurate. Let my aim be true and my hand faster than those who would seek to destroy me. Grant me victory over my foes and those that wish to harm to me and mine. Let not my last thought be “If only I had my gun”; and Lord if today is truly the day that You call me home, let me die in a pile of brass.



    I am out of town, enjoy your holidays.

    There are actually 4 verses but that would interfere with airtime at football games and such so the last 3 are mostly forgotten.
    They cut it to only 1 verse just to appease those who expect it and to not annoy those who just want to get on with it.
    Sent from my PC with a keyboard and camera on it with internet too.

    This was Posted the day after it happened

    My Wife (RedFoxy) and I were standing to Luis's left. At the end, they pan left but we were 1 row in back of the camera man. Nearer the stage.

    This was at the Douglasville Ga. Tea Party Rally.

    No, I don't know Luis, nor do I know how to contact him.

    You should have been there.

    The Star Spangled Banner Lyrics

    By Francis Scott Key 1814

    Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
    What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
    Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
    O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
    And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
    Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
    Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

    On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
    Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
    What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
    As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
    Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
    In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
    'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

    And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
    That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
    A home and a country should leave us no more!
    Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
    No refuge could save the hireling and slave
    From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
    And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

    Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
    Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
    Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
    Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
    Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
    And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
    And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

    Wow, just Wow!

    Not only does he strike an awesome point, but his singing skills are top-notch, too. Our Star Spangled Banner is one of the more difficult songs to sing, and he nailed it from lowest note to highest.

    Great job and excellent point. A man easy to admire.

    Yes, thanks for posting. I feel like **** for not knowing there were more verses. At least I do now!
