Well done, but certainly not surprising ... They’re not going to touch this with a ten foot pole!
( In addition, glancing over your profile, I found your piece entitled The Tragedy of Women in Combat to be most excellent )
I suppose they would call that old Corp you speak of, My Father’s Corp ... One of The Chosin Few ~
Have a really great day
Thank you.
Every year I join with other members of my DAV chapter to ride in a Veterans Day parade. I enjoy the fact I can still wear my service dress blue uniform I had tailored when I left Officer Candidate School in November 1969. I will always remember the time I was able to exchange salutes with a Marine master sergeant in his service dress blues from his time on active duty, who had enlisted in 1936 and said his greatest sense of accomplishment was leading his entire unit to safety from the Chosin Reservoir.
