[Brad from Tennessee]

I talked to a friend, Charley, on the phone last week who finished his Marine Corps enlistment in 1959. I was discharged in 1969, 10 years after him. The last words he said to me when we hung up were: “Semper Fi.”

As a Viet Nam war combat veteran (”C” 1/5 1stMarDiv.), all of my fellow Marines end our conversations with “Semper Fi”;
so anyone who is of the opinion that it is anything other than a note of love for each other and the Corps is just mistaken.

Semper Fi,
Kelly
