So here's my take, MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #111

So I guess that we should now smear the late Tom Petty because he used Confederate flags MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #116

If he were still alive right now, I think he would've retired that flag wolfie001 Sunday #119

Maybe, maybe not MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #123
