Yes, it is suddenly smoky where I live. That often shows you that if you start and try, things have a way of working out. -c1steve | |||

No Uber? The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC The Dhimocrats love America like ticks love a hound. | |||

Want more in life? Be more. As a Marine, he was probably accustomed to long marches in recruit training. That night, he had no one ordering him to walk those 20 miles. Solid young man. _________________________________________ Dei. Familia. Patria. Victoria. Don't back up, don't back down. | |||

The two lines that got my attention the most. "After the moving job was done, Lamey, impressed by Carr's determination, shared his story on Facebook." He did not do it to impress anyone or post a video on facebook, twitter or anything else and Carr said. "My body was like, 'What was you thinking?' I had to get the job done." I only wish this young man was the type of worker in the majority nowadays. Great story. Thanks for sharing it. Because son, it is what you are supposed to do. | |||

I have always admired Marines. Way back, when I knew that it was my time to serve, I did not think that I had what was needed, physically, to be a Marine. So I enlisted in the Navy and became a missile systems geek. But the Marines have always had my respect. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

This is a good example of how Boy Scouts and military training ought to be sought by every boy and young man, in the spirit which it is intended. Personal responsibility... they were counting on him. The virtues one is exposed to don’t always just pop up out of nowhere, and it doesn’t hurt to give them a try. Like nearly everything having to do with humans, it doesn't always work out, but that’s the chance you take. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Most importantly, he was raised right! | |||

The standard joke is: "Yes. The Marines are a department of the Navy. The Men's department." Icarus flew too close to the sun, but at least he flew. | |||

I heard the Marines invented Sex, but those of us in the Air Force introduced it to Women. “Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.” ― Ronald Reagan Retired old fart | |||

How I wish the media would make an effort to both actively seek out and report on more of these types of stories daily (they really do exist out there). We'd all be the better for it. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns.

Good for him. He solved his own problem. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Yes great story. There are still folks out there trying to do the right thing. Never forget that. -------------------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

This is a story that reflects positively on everyone involved. The young man, for sure, and those who brought him up. The CEO. Even the homeowner who let him rest before getting on with the business at hand. And, not least, some very helpful LEOs
