Don't you dare call him anything except - MARINE!!!
What a great young man!
C'mon SandRat, I was one of my platoon's "feather merchants", and I had to be the one in the mess line. Semper Fi
Just WOW.
Good story, thanks for posting! What an awesome guy.
An attitude of steel and determination of iron.
A Marine.
Thanks Marines !
As a "Retired" Marine stories like these make my heart swell with pride and love for our beloved Corps. Where do we find such men and women? Perhaps to answer my own question: America! For all the lazy, self-serving and military-loathing young adults (some with whom I work) we might have, America still has some patriotic, and I hope, God fearing youngsters who realize the blessings that have been bestowed upon us and thereby, wish to serve their fellow Americans. I worked for a Major (a Harrier Pilot) years ago who said: "By virtue of one's birth in this country, every American should give at least two years of service to it." He did not necessarily mean the military either. But, there is no better way to serve than in its defense... no matter what branch!
GOOD MORNING!
