What's classier than a Marine in dress blues?
A Marine in dress blues escorting a special needs child to the Cinderella Ball. Semper Fi!
Oh Man....even this “Devil Doc” old Corpsman has to admit this is an awesome pic! “Semper Fi” and “Well Done”!
Thanks for posting! My sister is special needs and my nephew is a just-commissioned Marine Officer stationed at Quantico. I just sent this to my other sister who lives near Wash DC.
Especially a marine with a twinkle in his eye. ;-)
My son officially retired on the 31st after 13 years of service. I loved to see him in his dress blues! Nothing better! but I also just love seeing him in his khakis or shorts or anything. He is MY son and I love him to the end of time and am oh so proud of him!
Bravo.
Gunny Santa is pretty classy. < |:)~
Whatever you do for the least of these, you do it for me.
I have no idea about now, but in the mid-sixties when I was “in”, with very few exceptions you had to purchase (and they weren’t cheap) Blues if you wanted ‘em for any reason.
Marine Dress Blues are worn for special occasions or various ceremonies or as this Marine is doing here. My brother got married wearing his.
