Why aren't these proud, brave Marines the standards and examples in the black homes, cities, and culture instead of gangbangers with their pants about to fall off? They set an example for youth groups and classes Everywhere! Why aren't there movies and programs about these men, and women of this caliber for examples of the youth to see and be proud of? I first learned of the Montfort Point Marines on NCIS! I then looked up the great work they did and the example they set, what they went through at that time. It was so different from now, and the feelings were much different, but they didn't cry they went out and made things better! They certainly deserved every medal and award they were given!

Because the youth has been indoctrinated to not have any respect for anything. Not others, not their elders, and certainly not disciplined and lionhearted organizations like the marine corps. They dont care that their grandpa served neck and neck with whitey to defeat tyranny all over the world during the 20th century, they only care about money, sex and drugs. They arent raised to have the mental capacity to understand what it is like to have unity and brotherhood and if they realize it down the line its usually too late to join.

I went to Supply School (MOS 3043) at Camp Johnson. It was formerly called Montford Point, we were told.

Thank you Montfort Point Marines cause without you I wouldn't be able to join the Marines. Semper Fi!!!!

RIP to my Uncle Thomas Ravenell and his neighbor in Charleston SC Ellis Cunningham! Both Montford Point Marines who served in WWII, Korea and Vietnam and to all the Black Marines that fought in every island Campaign against the Japanese from Guadalcanal to Iwo Jima. Cpl Hawk 1/6 2nd Marine Division & Prince Georges County Police (RET) Maryland.

My Father Thomas C Brackeen was a Montford Point Marine and hardly spoke about his time in the Corps. I think that the mystery that was around his experiences led to my joining the Corp as well. Strange enough, while I was in the Marine Corps and would come home on leave we rarely spoke of my experiences. I guess we were just relieved to get away from it!!

That year husband am I was there that was a proud day for my husband to receive the gold medal staff sergeant Albert Allen Junior deceased December 6th 20/20 he went in 1947 retired 1969 21 years he were a proud Marine I

Thank God Its OneNation and One Corps

Semper Fi to every Marine and to our Corps who resisted intregation, but finally accepted black men as US MARINES.

It pisses me off when you never hear or see the black soldiers documentaries on TV talking about the war with Japan. I didn't even know they fought in Japan until now.

Buffalo Sea Soldiers / U.S. Marines. Heaven is for Heroes, May R.I.P. Semper-Fi.

What Natives ?Native Americans?My neighbour an 89 year old black veteran was guard at an internment camp. He said he marveled had the electricity and running water as well as the wood stoves. Something his family would not get until the 1960's

Navajo code talkers fought in WWII and the 369th Infantry (all Black) was the most decorated unit in WW1. I'm aware of the 442nd in WWII from a movie I stumbled upon starring Vann Heflin. Never learned real history in school books in the 60's or 70's.

Semper Fi

1000th video

and the Natives? natives had it worse then the blacks ever did. plus nobody speaks of the Japanese-American camps.

Try reading Tv isnt the answer to everything
