The news media attempts to smear the good name and reputation of ALL of our soldiers (based on the actions of a few).  But we know our brave men and women of the armed forces deserve a much higher level of respect.  Buried deep in the San Diego Union Tribune is this blurb by columnist Dianne Bell:

All the teachers at Jerabek Elementary School wanted to attend the funeral of Hans Wichary, husband of fifth-grade teacher Jean Chalupsky. So a group of Marines went to the Scripps Ranch campus Friday and, along with teacher volunteers from other city schools, “taught” all the afternoon classes and led students in outdoor exercises. Wichary, 41, died in a bicycle accident May 8.

The Marines, recent Iraq returnees based at Miramar air station, have a bond with Jerabek through their annual Toys for Tots drive and other activities. It seems that here at home the Marines are making a difference, too.
