Dear Military Veterans,

I would like to create a table of military service for those who served in the Marines and want to be included. I have already created a separate table for Free Republic's Navy Veterans and I want to create separate tables for each. It will help me organize my work if I tackle one branch at a time.

Please look at part of a table below which I have provided as an example, and see what I have in mind. I'm open to suggestions, but this table is a quick way to get started. However, I am busy these days so I'm not sure when I'll have a break. Your patience is appreciated.

If you would like to be added to the table, have a look  at the format I've created and reply on this thread to have your name added. Once I get the names, I can post the completed table in a comment at the bottom of this thread, which you can link for later reference.

Once I complete this table, I can post a new thread and invite another branch, complete their table, then another branch etc. I would like to create a master table of all military who wish to share so that all user names would appear in alphabetical order and be easier to reference regardless of branch of military service.

If there's no interest in this table, please accept my gratitude for your service. THANK YOU!

I'm pleased to report that I've added a few names to the USMC Table of Honor. I tried to standardize the text, but that may mean I dropped something you'd like kept on the table. Of course, I'm eager to correct any errors I've made. Please let me know what to add - I'd like to make the table information serve Marines first, and admiring public second.

I see that I made an error in Chainmail's entry. He's not really over a 1000 years old. When I update the table, I will make him young again!

[Chainmail]

That’s OK: my kids THINK I’m a thousand years old!
