The History of Assassins
Heard something about the history of assassins in a movie recently, had to look into it. Very interesting
I do believe Hal Popplewell; USMC 1971 - 1979, is the Author of this quote, and it is the last verse of a longer poem :
You can have your army Kakhis,
And your navy blues,
Here’s a different sort of fighting man,
I’ll introduce to you.
His uniform is unlike
Any you’ve ever seen;
And the Germans called him Devil Dog,
But his real name is Marine!
He was born on Parris Island (San Diego or the Hills of Quantico)
The land that God forgot.
The sand was 14 inches deep,
the sun was blazing hot.
He’d get up every morning,
Way before the sun,
And he’d run a hundred miles or more,
Before the day was done.
He fought in the cold of Korea,
In the heat of Viet Nam.
When ever our country goes to war,
The Marines are first to land.
We’ll fight them on the ground,
We’ll fight them in the sky,
When the Army and Navy are heading home,
The Marines are standing by.
And when he gets to heaven,
To St. Peter he will tell,
“Another Marine reporting, Sir,
I’ve served my time in Hell!”
St. Elmo’s fire is a weather phenomenon in which luminous plasma is created by a coronal discharge from a sharp or pointed object in a strong electric field in the atmosphere (such as those generated by thunderstorms or created by a volcanic eruption).
St. Elmo’s fire is named after St. Erasmus of Formiae (also called St. Elmo, the Italian name for St. Erasmus), the patron saint of sailors. The phenomenon sometimes appeared on ships at sea during thunderstorms and was regarded by sailors with religious awe for its glowing ball of light, accounting for the name. Because it is a sign of electricity in the air and interferes with compass readings,some sailors may have regarded it as an omen of bad luck and stormy weather. Other references indicate that sailors may have actually considered St. Elmo’s fire as a positive omen (as in, a sign of the presence of their guardian saint).

Legend says, when you can’t sleep at night, it’s because you’re awake in someone else’s dream.
Not sure
I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
Just read this for the first time - really beautiful poem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Stand_at_My_Grave_and_Weep
