The guy was a real life "Forest Gump" in terms of where he was and what he experienced. I just sat there amazed.

Perhaps we can get together at an earlier point than the next Birthday!

Semper Fi!

God bless you, Marines! We are in your debt. Semper Fi!

You were always faithful to us; may we always be faithful to you.

#123 Great photo of Chesty!

Thanks for sharing it. I'll have to look for that book too.

Also, fun to see the old herring-bone utilities, he's wearing. You would still see a few sets of them being worn back in "63", when I joined the Corps.
