Sgt Grit,
It has been 66 years since I have walked the yellow footprints at PI.
I was honored this past month to have been invited by the CG of Parris Island to be one of two reviewing officials for the 1st Training Regt Delta Company’s graduation.
The event was doubly appreciated by this old WWII, Korea and Vietnam Vet because one of the newest Marine recruits being graduated was my own Great Grandson Austin W; Lee. This makes 5 generations of servicemen in my immediate family.
A picture of the newest Marine and the Old Corps Marine is attached as well as the sign at the theater on PI.
Semper Fidelis, George M. Barrows Sr
Jr Past Commandant Onslow County Detachment # 262
Marine Corps League
National Marine of the Year 2001
Respect and honor the 13th Commandant of the Marine Corps by saying his name correctly.
John Archer Lejeune (Luh-Jern)
