A serious Marine answers The Call

Posted By Uncle Jimbo

I would love to meet this kid. Not only is his message brilliant, but his delivery is stunning. Every time I wonder a bit about our country, somebody like this pops up to remind us what we are really about. H/T Something... and Half of Something.

[Blackfive busting in here.  I'm posting the words to this rap/poetry after the Jump.  This should be sent to everyone for September 11th.] Jimbo jumping as well, Fox News picked up the video too. If anyone knows who this guy is I would seriously love to interview him.

Free

and She called...
Blacks, Whites...wait
African Americans and Caucasians, Asians, excuse me.
Vietnamese, Philippines, Koreans and Jamaicans or
Haitians, waitin', Hispanics, y'all.

Please be patient
Mexican, Puerto Ricans, Venezuelan, Cuban, v Dominican, Panamanian, Democrats
I beg your pardon, you partied with the late, great Reagan?
Republican, Independent, Christian, Catholic,
Methodist, Baptist, 7th Day Adventist, 5 Percenters,
Hindu, Sunni Muslim, Brothers and Sisters who never seen the New York city
skyline when the twin towers still existed.
But still She called.

From the bowels of Ground Zero she sent this 911 distress signal.
Because She was in desperate need of a hero,
and didn't have time to decipher what to call 'em,
so she called 'em all Her children.
The children of the stars and bars who needed to know nothing more than the fact that she called.
The fact that someone attempted to harm us
this daughter who covered us all with her loving arms.
And now these arms are sprawled across New York City streets.
A smoke filled lung, a silt covered faced,
and a solitary tear poured out of her cheek.
Her singed garments carpets Pennsylvania Avenue and the Pentagon was under her feet.
As she began to talk, she began to cough up small particles of debris
and said, "I am America, and I'm calling on the land of the free."
So they answered.

All personal differences set to the side
because right now there was no time to decide which state building the Confederate flag should fly over,
and which trimester the embryo is considered alive,
or on our monetary units, and which God we should confide.
You see, someone attempted to choke the voice
of the one who gave us the right for choice,
and now she was callin'.
And somebody had to answer.
Who was going to answer?

So they did.
Stern faces and chiseled chins.
Devoted women and disciplined men,
who rose from the ashes like a Phoenix
and said "don't worry, we'll stand in your defense."
They tightened up their bootlaces
and said goodbye to loved ones, family and friends.
They tried to bombard them with the "hold on", "wait-a-minute's", and "what-ifs".
And "Daddy, where you goin'?".
And, "Mommy, why you leavin'?".
And they merely kissed them on their foreheads and said "Don't worry, I have my reasons.
You see, to this country I pledged my allegiance
to defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic.
So as long as I'm breathin', I'll run though hell-fire,
meet the enemy on the front lines,
look him directly in his face,
stare directly in his eyes and scream,
"I AM AMERICA! WE WILL NOT BE TERRORIZED!
WE WILL NOT BE TERRORIZED!
I REFUSE TO BE AFRAID!
I'LL FIGHT YOU ANY COUNTRY, ANY CONTINENT, ANY TERRAIN.
I'LL FIGHT TO MY LAST BREATH!"

And if by chance death is my fate,
pin my medals upon my chest,
and throw Old Glory on my grave.
But, don't y'all cry for me.
You see, my Father's prepared a place.
I'll be a part of his Holy army standing a watch at the Pearly Gates.
Because freedom was never free.
POW's, and fallen soldiers
all paid the ultimate sacrifice
along side veterans who put themselves in harms way.
Risking their lives and limbs just to hold up democracy's weight,
but still standing on them broken appendages anytime the National Anthem was played.
You see, these were the brave warriors that gave me the right
to say that I'm Black. Or white.

Or

African American or Caucasian,
I'm Asian, excuse me.
I'm Vietnamese, Philippine, Korean, or Jamaican.
I'm Haitian, Hispanic

Y'all, Please be patient.
I'm Mexican, Puerto Rican, Venezuelan, Cuban,
Dominican, Panamanian, Democrat
I beg your pardon, you see I partied with the late, great Reagan.
I'm Republican, Independent, Christian, Catholic,
Methodist, Baptist, 7th Day Adventist, 5 Percenters,
Hindu, Sunni Muslim,

Brothers and Sisters We're just Americans.
So with that I say
"Thank You" to the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines,
for preserving my rights
to live and die for this life
and paying the ultimate price for me to be...FREE!

[JihadGene]

After viewing this "OUTSTANDING AND INSPIRATIONAL" video, the
Reverend AL SHARPTON and the Reverend JESSIE JACKSON only had this to say...
..."There goes one confused brother."

[Soldier's Mom]

My God that was awesome! Who is this young Marine?

And you know what JihadGene -- Jesse and Al ought to listen to him -- he makes a hell of a lot more sense than they do!

Semper Fi and God Bless and Protect You young man!

[sgt.jjdusmc]

[Bill Faith]

Out-f'ing-standing.

[LC Mamapajamas]

OUTSTANDING! This is the kind of man who makes me proud to say that my late Dad was a Marine, buried in his dress blues with an impressive rack of medals from WWII and Korea! They STILL get it!

Semper Fi, Marine! :D

[chiropetra]

That needs a much wider distribution.

And preferably a transcription as well so the words can go where the video can't.

[Marieanne]

[caelestis]

OOOOH-RAH Devil Dog...............

[JihadGene]

[mindy1]

Wow-that IS inspirational-I bet he really loves his job:)

[Soldier's Mom]

I know it's on YouTube but since I don't know much about that, can someone tell me how to find it? My local TV station has agreed to run it if they can get to it -- I told them to go to Blackfive.net to look at it and they did but they want to know about YouTube -- they are as YouTube illiterate as I am!

[jordan]

I believe! I believe!

That's some raw talent there.

[Cincinnati_Bob]

DAMN!!!!!

(Jihad Gene, no doubt on "the Reverends".)

[SlimGuy]

Soldier's Mom

After the video plays click on the link symbol on the right side of the player and select copy to clipboard and paste it somewhere, like an email to your paper or a blank wordpad document to save it out so you can give it to them.

[dw]

Me too, gave me a chill listening. Also gave me a lil' hint ofsomething not quite right in some of my views. Thanx marine.

[Teresa]

On any of the You Tubes - if you click on the "You Tube" decal in the lower right corner BEFORE playing it, it takes you to the you tube page. This video is from October 2006.

[M*A]

Anybody see the 60 Minutes piece tonight about the rappers? This Marine's message needs to get out there. God Bless this Marine and all our military.

[JihadGene]

*Disclaimer*
I stand corrected!
My comment about Rev Al Sharpton & Rev Jessie Jackson was NOT something they actually said....it is only "my opinion of what they would say"...so....no need for anyone to sport a woody over this! Capisce?
Cincinnati_Bob....You got it!!!
DAMN!!!

[htom]

Oohrah indeed.

This may be the first rap that this ol'white boy jarhead actually understood. Preach it, brother!

[texas]

I also say, AMEN to that....you are such a remarkable poet!! This IS outstanding!!!! More U.S. citizens need to hear this video!!!!! Actually, the world needs to hear this video...this is how most Americans LOVE America!!!!

United we stand,
God Bless the Troops!
God Bless America!!

[C-Low]

Aaa...Meennn

If Hollywood still considered themselves Americans this is the kind of beats that would be comin and movies would run the same theme. Freedom American Style Babby--"Nation of MANY,,, but ONE". That is America and that is why we are un-defeatble unless we so will it. Why there is no nation, city, town, village that we go to anywhere on this earth that we cannot look back and someone raise their hand and say "this is my peoples place".

[douglas]

AaaaaaaaMEN! THAT is poetry. This has GOT to get out there, and this guy deserves some recognition.

[TBinSTL]

That is some seriously motivating sh*t, right there.

[Subsunk]

I believe the Man has spoken.

I need the words. I'd post them everywhere.

Well done, youngster. Well done.

Subsunk

[Mobius]

Simply Outstanding.

[vet66]

Made my whole day. I wonder why it took a year to get recognized? This needs to hit the campaign trail with serious Presidential contenders.

OUTSTANDING!

[Soldier's Mom]

Well Ladies and Gents -- it's making the MSM -- go to Foxnews.com -- even if you don't like Fox, he's right up at the top and put there in a good light!

Oorah!

[mekan]

Amen.

[Dixiechick]

From the mother of a future Marine who will graduate from PI 10/19 I say ...

It has absolutely NOTHING to do with race but everything to do with being an proud American!

OOOO-RAH!!!!

Semper Fi

[Some Soldier's Mom]
