Amen. Dad was a marine and have been remembering him and the entire Corps this day.
Happy Birthday from an alum of the only Army division ever commanded by Marine officers.
My late father served as a Marine Gunnery Sergeant in World War II, Korea and early Vietnam.
Sending a Marine to Afghanistan in a few days. He’s not my son but I’d be proud to call him that. He is a former student and current friend. He turned 20 today and I bought him a couple of beers at a local bar last weekend. Several off duty cops were there and didn’t say anything about it. One of them bought him a round himself. I pray for my Marine’s safety. He claims it’s just a job, but I had the opportunity to show him my sleeping babies when he was home. They sleep safely because of men like him. God bless our Marines and all of our armed forces.
SEMPER FI!
