  1. Hi Wade,

    Uh-Rah! – Thank you brother!

    Semper-Fi to all my Brothers, Fellow Patriots,…. and Fellow Americans!

    In my unit we would say: “Oh good,.. they have us surrounded,… now they have no where to run!”

    Happy Bithday to all US Marines,.. lets remember on this day,.. our day,.. that the toughest fight to save this country,.. is about to unfold,.. right here,… in our own yards.

    Time to kick the crap out that commie Enemy-Force-In-Occuption down there, soiling American land in Washington DC.

    Gear-up brothers,.. the good fight is just about on us.

    JD – US Marines – NOW,.. more than ever,… this country NEEDS its Marines,… as well as ALL its Patriots and Militia!

    .

    1. Hi Wade,

      Once again you honor me with praise that is more than I deserve.

      I just happen to be lucky enough to find my way to one of the Liberty-Sentinels,… a modern Founding-Father personality in the form of Henry Shivley, who was gracious enough to give me voice, and a mountain to yell our universal message from!

      There are MILLIONS of us Patriots,… and probably millions of Marines just itching to get this country clean of its trash!!!!

      With out Henry, Ed, Mark, Katie, Joe, Jolly Roger, Missy, Shaun, and all the regulars here at FTT, and the militia, and most importantly,… the PATRIOTS,… we would have nothing,… and the commies would already have the Pits-‘O-Death, full of millions of dead Americans!

      So thank you again Wade,…. but its ALL of us that make the difference,.. INCLUDING YOU!!,… I just try to say it in the most logical, meaningful,.. truthful way that help everyone of us recognize the size,,.. and necessity of the coming fight!

      The best we can do right now,… is educate, educate, educate,… and as people wake up and realize the truth,.. the fight will materialize all on its own!

      JD – US Marines – I feel the fight coming!,.. and I feel victory is coming with it,… OUR VICTORY!

      No Quarter to any Commie/International/Zionist/Jew/Traitor Scum,.. period!

      .
