USA Patriotism!
recognizes the following American for noble patriotic efforts! |
 |
|
|
David Griffith was severely wounded in Vietnam
while serving his country with the Marines . . . and now must
rely on his wheelchair and walker for his mobility . . . and a
computer terminal for his window on the world. |
|
 |
|
So, in response to the terrorist attacks on
September 11, 2001, David Griffith, ignoring his ongoing pain,
started a
patriotic tribute at his site . . . pouring out his
love of country every day that includes writing poetry . . . all
intended to lift up our brave |
|
troops,
encourage all Americans, and preventing our troops from
being forgotten or scorned as was done during the Vietnam War. |
|
|
Recently, from the confines of his home as a
shut-in, he organized his fellow senior citizens and collected over 300 boxes of supplies for the troops serving in Iraq and
Afghanistan, having his medical attendant deliver them
to the local post office for mailing at his own expense.
Moreover, David Griffith currently keeps in
contact (by email and mail) with over 150 Marines in Iraq
from his bedroom desk every month. His reply to why is . . . "I
don't want these kids coming home to a cold and unforgiving
country this time like we did from Vietnam." (His reason
should ring true to all Americans.)
And while three bullet wounds in Vietnam ended
David Griffith's
active Marine role after 11 years and 5 months . . . this true
American patriot has remained a Marine at heart, breathing his
love of the US Marine Corps everyday . . . and wishing that he
could have served a full career as a Marine.
Semper Fi ...
David Griffith for exemplifying love and pride of America as a
Marine and your ongoing noble patriotic efforts! |
