Semper Fi 2011

While watching that I'm pretty sure I felt my shoulders rolling back and my chin lowering. Not to mention the goosebumps. Ooh Rah Marine Corps!!

Bill, this old gunny says "thank you"! On Friday, let's remember our friends, like Tom Novak, who didn't come back. A lot of time has passed, but i still remember and miss them.

I pass by the Vietnam Memorial every trip to Washington DC -- it brings back lots of memories when I think of my friends on the wall.

If you Jarheads don't mind an Army Grunt putting in my $.02 worth, Sagebrush, it's been a while for me too. The guys who come back injured, to me, that break my heart.
 
I attended a Marine Corps Birthday ball last week in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. It's the 20th USMC birthday celebration I've attended (although I'm not a Marine), and I find them moving every time. The first MC birthday I attended was with 5 marines and about 20 other celebrants in the foyer of the U.S. Embassy in Monrovia Liberia in 1991, and the birthday message from the commandant that year was punctuated by the sound of gunfire from the Liberian civil war outside the gate. I wouldn't miss sharing birthday cake with Marines again after that. Happy birthday Marines!
