"Maybe now Chief will let you know what really happened."
I had the same thought.
Hi my friend. Never gets any easier, sigh.
I'm surpized no one has quoted the last verse of The Marines Hymn by now....
Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By UNITED STATES MARINES.
COB1, I'll miss him.
