A GREAT Tribute to an Outstanding Marine - LANCE CORPORAL JEDH C. BARKER, USMC.
I’m not sure if I’ve shared this with you before, but my twin brother joined the USMC one month before I joined the Navy. I have deep respect for any Marine.
When I was going to Diving School in Subic Bay, PI, we had 13 Recon Marines (enlisted) and two Marine Officers attending the SCUBA portion of our class. What a GREAT bunch of guys. After the initial Squid and Jarhead names were exchanged, we all became close friends during that four week period.
Salute to LANCE CORPORAL JEDH C. BARKER, US Marine Corps.
Good evening, Dave...((HUGS))...I do know about you and your twin Marine. d:o) I’m sure some lively “discussions” ensued.
Thanks for sharing your experiences during the SCUBA part of Diving School.
Good evening/morning, wjcsux. ((HUGS)) If only the schools cared enough to teach them. Parents have a tremendous responsibility to make sure their kids know about these heroes.
Thank you for doing your part to help keep all of us free and safe.
Thanks, unique, for the pastries.
Coffee is always on........
How about a donut?
Cookies?
Veggies?
Sandwich?
((HUGS))Good morning, Ladies. Thanks for this morning's thread, Star. How's it going?
BTTT
Good night.
Good morning, E...((HUGS))...hope you and Bo had a good weekend. A few hours ago we had some serious thunder and short, heavy rain! Thunder is VERY rare near me.
My face was well protected as there is sunblock in both my moisturizer and my make up. My ARMS, however....eeeekkk!
Oh...we ALWAYS take nice walks together! :-)
Very buay.:)
Good morning, Canteen.
Good morning to our
