Thanks very much, Luv! I have been most gratified by the treatment I have received from the Marines of my own generation and from those presently serving. The Corps is truly a Brotherhood, and that Brotherhood includes those of us who served as FMF Corpsmen. For this General to take the time to talk to my 16 year old son and to me was moving, to say the least.

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
