My dad was a Marine. He was one of the Montford Point Marines. Those are the equivalent of the Tuskegee Airmen for Marines. He's a tough tough guy. When I was 15 we had a fight and I didn't speak to him for 10 years.
If I die a violent death as some fear and a few are plotting I know that the violence will be in the thought and the action of the assassins not in my dying.
