1. Has he erased their history? I know he's erased Jackie Robinson and other prominent African Americans military history.

The blatant racism of the Trump administration. Not just a few random acts but all of it is so revolting and it keeps getting worse.

2. Not yet.

I'm sure he'll get around to it, going by what he's done thus far.

4. This Marine will vehemently oppose any such move, as I know most of my fellow Marines will. nt.

I grew up in integrated public housing in the 60s - 70's.

Had two brothers (not slang) for neighbors who served in the Marines together.

They drive a bright red van (Marine colors)

Two of the finest men I've ever known.

7. Tell your brothers, from one brother Marine to other brother Marines,

Semper Fi and Ooh Rah.

8. Correction

Freaking spell check.

These Marines were neighbors.

Not my direct family.

There was a lot of racial tension in those years, and they treated this white teenager like their little brother.
