Sgt. James “Eddie” Wright, a Marine veteran who was seriously injured in Iraq in 2004 when his vehicle was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade, spoke at a press conference Feb. 25 on why he supports HR 24 and S.504. The bills would change the name of the Department of the Navy to the “Department of the Navy and Marine Corps.”
Wright said supporters of these bills have nothing against the Navy. In fact, he recounted how training and medical treatment he received from the Navy saved his life.
“If it wasn’t for the Navy,” Wright said, “I wouldn’t be standing here today.”
I feel that this bill is so important for the older Marines as well as the future Marines. change is Good and change is needed at this time. Mr Commander and Chief, Sir you could not do so little and get back so much by signing the bill HR 24 and S.504 . May God bless you and your Family and as the song goes the streets of Haven will be guarded by united State Marines. Semper Fi SGT Wilbum Lopez USMC SF#1 Riverside National Cemetery Honor Detail.
