Ping, but bring your kleenex.

[I got the rope]

Excellent story...I like this Terah Kay.

[Syncro]

And while the four I met utter not a word of complaint — aside from the fact that they need more beef jerky —

Hay, know where they can get some?

Ping to a great story!

Freema:
I left the MARINE CORPS over 50 years ago and still feel the same as those young fellows you talked to. I have in my yard a flag pole with the National colors and the MARINE CORPS flag flying every day. I carry a money clip with a large Globe and Anchor on it. The old saying "Once a MARINE always a MARINE is surly true with this old man. I served from 1942 through 1946 and still get lumps in my throat when the MARINE CORPS hymn is played. I don't think I will ever out grow it.

Good evening and the very best to you and yours.

Semper Fi

Hay, know where they can get some?

if you send it - don't list it on the customs form - my post master says it's on th no-no list - so gave me the above advice\, with a wink

[TMSuchman]

You know that you are STILL a MARINE when you hear the HYMN the hair on your arms & neck come to attn.. Mine still does even after all that I have been through since I left my BELOVED CORPS!

SEMPER FI! My brothers & sisters in arms & harms way!

[RoadTest]

God bless the Marines! Where would we be without ‘em?

BTTT

Many of my friends like to talk of thier fancy cars or big houses - others brag about vacations in distant or exotic locations.

Me? Yeah - I like to brag too.

I say “My son is a US Marine”.

He is now back home with us and doing well, now.

Good evening and the best back to you and yours, Tommie.

It is a phenomenon. More than family, always, and evermore.

I learned to play that song before I was 10 years old on my first instrument. I’m always standing in the rear, bawling and wiping my eyes, when that song is played.

[Marine_Uncle]

Awwwh your just a sissy wissy. Honor, Duty, Country.

[freema]

I am : ) LOL! This makes me think of a magnificent dinner I ruined and had to throw out for a houseful of Marines....and the buckets of tears I shed over “spilled milk” while they calmly went on a spaghettio run : )

Just saw a Coors commercial, and thought of you. Are you watching the game? I’m rooting for Colorado.

[freema]

I just tuned in during the bottom of the 5th. Looks like they might shake it up : )
