Fire and Rain....I'm in tears already...this song got me through Basic Training.

You must have been a Marine!

[Tennessee_Bob]

I wish I could claim that honor. I'm the son of a Marine, one who went to the Frozen Chosin and walked out. Dad came home from Korea, went to college and got his commission in the Air Force and retired 18 years later as a Lt. Colonel. When I told him I was thinking about going in the Corps, I was threatened with being disowned. So I went in the Air Force. While I loved what I did, and am happy where my life has taken me so far (despite the rough and rocky road), I often wonder where life would have led had I taken up the challenge and earned the title United States Marine.
