Unraveling the Distinctive Threads
Introduction: In recent times, chaos unfolded in Iraq as a ruthless gang of ISIS commandos launched a brazen attack on the US Embassy, prompting a swift response from a highly trained thirty-man platoon. This incident raises questions about the differences between the US Marines and the regular Army, often mistakenly interchanged in popular culture. Despite both being integral parts of the US military, the Marines and Army serve distinct roles, each with its unique capabilities and responsibilities.

They are required to be knowledgeable, team players, physically fit, and well-rounded individuals. As an amphibious force, they are trained to fight on land and sea. They are the first fighting force to hit the ground in any conflict. They are stationed all over the world to be ready to go at a moment’s notice. Here are a few things they’ll do to keep us safe on doomsday.

Thank You, and God Bless America
It was a hot, humid night in late July, and a monsoon was rolling in. There were less than ten of us, sweating around a fire, silent in a way I had never experienced with these people before. There were veterans, active military, kids who were poised to join. And a precious few were like me, patriots who were allowed, for a few moments, to look deeper into the lives of those who dedicated themselves to their country.

National Hire a Veteran Day - Paying Tribute to Our Nation's Heroes
This article was previously posted by Mickey Markoff on LiveJournal. July 25 marks National Hire a Veteran Day, a day designated to bring attention to the potential and value our veterans bring to the workforce and encourage companies to consider these dedicated individuals for open positions. At the heart of this national awareness day is the recognition of the incredible sacrifices our military veterans have made and continue to make. This sentiment of acknowledging, respecting, and supporting veterans is deeply intertwined with the mission of the Hyundai Air and Sea Show, executive produced by Mickey Markoff.
