Brave men going in harms way for us.
I salute you.
The Navy during the days of John Paul Jones put riflemen in the mast rigging to pick off men on ships they were fighting. It progressed from there. First In Last Out has a lot of meaning. 1st Marines hit Guadalcanal first. They’d already been on Makin Island. I was greeted coming off liberty by a marine during my time in a sub out of Rota Spain to cross the tender to my boat. Happy Birthday Marines! Semper Fi.
