Why Marines?
 
*

Did you know this about 9-11?

AFTER FLIGHT 77 HIT THE PENTAGON ON 9/11, THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED

A chaplain, who happened to be assigned to the Pentagon, told of an*incident that happened right after Flight 77 hit the Pentagon on 9/11.

*

A daycare facility inside the Pentagon had many children, including infants*who were in heavy cribs. The daycare supervisor, looking at all the children they needed to evacuate, was in a panic over what they could do.

*

There were many children, mostly toddlers, as well as the infants that would need to be taken out with the*cribs. There was no time to try to bundle them into carriers and strollers.

*

Just then a young Marine came running*into the center and asked what they needed. After hearing what the center director was trying to do, he ran back*out into the hallway and disappeared. The director thought, "Well, here we are, on our own."

*

About 2 minutes later, that Marine returned with 40 other Marines in tow. Each of them grabbed a crib with a child,*and the rest started gathering up toddlers.

The director and her staff then helped*them take all the children out of the center and down toward the park nears the Potomac ..

*

Once they got about 3/4 of a mile outside the building, the Marines stopped in the park, and then did a fabulous thing - they*formed a circle with the cribs, which were quite sturdy and heavy, like the covered wagons in the Old West.

Inside this circle of cribs, they put the toddlers, to keep them from wandering off. Outside this circle were the 40 Marines, forming a perimeter around the*children and waiting for instructions. There they remained until the parents could be notified and come get their children.

*

The chaplain then said, "I don't think any of us saw nor heard of this on any of the news stories of the day. It was an*incredible story of our men there.” There wasn't a dry eye in the room.

*

The thought of those Marines and what they did and how fast they reacted; could we expect any less from them? It*was one of the most touching stories from the Pentagon

Why does America need Her Marines?

We don't hear about these things because the media/gov only tells us what they THINK we should know. They do not realize, that this would help build a better society hearing things like this on a daily basis.

I have actually heard this story before, but it was via the internet, not on any news channels.

News is formulated as an entertainment program in order to attract viewers rather than an informational program to inform people of what is taking place. At least that is what it seems. Leading to the some times heard motto of:
"If it bleads, it leads!"

If they can't put a spin on it they don't want it.
