Semper Fi! I had the priviledge of meeting some US marines once - gentlemen (and ladies) one and all - a lot like the good servicepeople at my local air base, RAAF Amberley, where the Marines were staying as US/Australia joint military exercises were going on.
I salute you and yours, and thankyou for your alliance with my country.
I met a bunch of them, based out of Vug Tau, Vietnam, when I was over there. They invited me to visit them in Sydney. I did. I spent 2 weeks in Sydney. I had a great time.
