Great news!
Glad you posted this. Read it yesterday afternoon and it’s worth the read!
Remember this....
Amen to that!
Yes I do remember it, Smooth. That's a great piece by Bob Weimann and a great thread and most appropriate you posted it.
It’s a day I’ll never forget. To be with Justin, his parents, and all of those Marine Corps veterans was a blessing. Duty, Honor, Country were there that day.
