With the exception of only one Marine I've ever met, I have always looked up to Leathernecks. I was attached to the Marines for 5 months when I first hit country. The best 5 months (also the scariest) I had in all of my service. The rest of my time was spent in the Army at Nha Trang and Hon Tre Island.

The Marines treated you as professionals and Men. The army treated you as mindless cogs that had to constantly be managed. Sigh!

I salute you !
