I walked point for the 1st Battalion, 5th Marines in 1969 and 1970 . . .

I realize this is a bit late, sir, but thanks for your service. The "real" soldiers who fought the "real" wars are why we're the greatest country the world has ever known. I salute you.

"I salute you" Thank you. I was proud to serve with some of the finest Marines this country every had. Unfortunately, many never returned. Never Forget! And when you see a man in his fifties, sleeping on a bench, please remember that "but for the grace of God go I." Semper Fi, Kelly
