Aren't they nice!
Was intending to carry it as a "pocket piece", but once seeing it - decided to just lock it in the gun vault for my favorite grandson..

YES - there is a favorite grandson -- He's the one who loves to walk in the woods with me and the dog, shoot, talk and just "hang together", which is his description I haven't quite decyphered.

The coins came about a month ago, and I sent one to my middle brother in Maryland (also a former Marine) --- but the damned ingrate hasn't even acknowledged receiving it or thanking me...


Actually -- I suspect his wife had heard from my wife that it was coming -- and set it aside to wrap as a Marine Birthday Gift, since it is so close.


Let me be the first to wish you and all the Jarheads in the forum a "Happy Birthday"!

I can't express how wonderful it has been to find this forum - where so MANY young and old Marine brothers come to talk.

Do you have, or know of someone who has a "ping" list that grabs all the Marines in the forum?
It sure would be nice to have before the 10th....

"Do you have, or know of someone who has a "ping" list that grabs all the Marines in the forum?"
