WOW! A three war Marine.

I salute your father's service. I wish I could have met him.

Semper Fi!

He used to tell me about some of the great ones from WWII. The Marines were small enough in number that he had been around many.

Interesting trivia, if I could remember it. My mother changed the diapers of a future Commandant, but I can't remember his name.

I also inherited this brass ashtray commemorating the 178th birthday of the corps. I believe he also brought this back from Korea as that was the time he was serving there.
