Happy Birthday Marines!
My father, gone 10 years, was a 3 war Marine.
A man with the same human imperfections we all suffer; he and I fought like hell in my teen years.
He was a man of impeccable honor, morality and loyalty. He was a Marine.
I have his K Bar, dog tags and some pictures from his first command in Korea 1953 hanging on the wall in a shadowbox frame that I see multiple times every day. When I die it will hang in my daughter’s home.
