We as Americans won the ovarian lottery to be born into this ongoing experiment in democracy… we’ll celebrate the 242nd anniversary of the adoptions of the “Declaration of Independence” by the Continental Congress.  What I enjoy most about the document is that there is no effort to conceal the anger they feel, they’re PISSED and it comes through loud and clear.  AND, as legend has it, much to the chagrin of King George they had the audacity to sign it!  We’ll talk about it.

TODAY’S TOPICS:

* Russia’s (the host nation) victory over heavily favored Spain in the 2018 World Cup

* FAvorite breakfast

* Civil War rates of fire on this date when we remember the 2nd day of the Battle of Gettysburg

ALL MARINE RADIO is heading out on the road which is long overdue.  We are looking to be able to take the show to events like the Marine Corps Marathon and marquee Marine Corps events to become both more relevant and also to meet more Marines.  YOUR help is requested — IF YOU ENJOY ALL MARINE RADIO HELP US DO MORE by supporting our work via the Go Fund Me page on our website.  Exciting stuff is on the horizon and we won’t be able to do those things without the support of our listeners.  THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

I purchased a copy of “Things That Matter” by the recently departed Charles Krauthammer.  I was hooked after the first paragraph… if you know I love baseball and profanity you’ll quickly see why!
