Never too late. Glad you dropped by to share your "big year". Thanks, 2ndrecon, for your service to America. You do your son, and all of us proud.
Sorry I am late to the thread, MoJo.
2001 was a big year for me.
Started the year in Saudia Arabia. Went to Kuwait. Came back to Saudia Arabia and then back home to New Mexico.
I was with the 2nd Reconnnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, Operation Desert Shield / Storm.
My son was born on February 15th. I received the Red Cross notification the day before we went into combat in the ground war. I can still remember standing at my HUMWWV, writing my Op Order when the Battalion SGT Major gave it to me.
I saw him for the first time in May, when I returned.
A wild time and some pretty vivid memories.
