Howdy Sgt Grit
Been some time since I dropped you a line but I'm not much of a
writer. First off I want to thank you for the good service on
order delivery's fast and in good shape'
Next, The weekly newsletter is great, I know all the Marines out
there await it each week. I try to make mine last a week, don't
always make it.
The first two photos are of the first cake cutting ceremony at
our VFW post, only five this year, will be better next year. The
cake cutters are our corpsman and me, I'm the chubby one. The
cake was made by a friend of mine and she did a beautiful job,
it is all edible including the center emblem. Nobody wanted to
break it so the post put it on a hard surface to save it.
The next two photos are me and my brand new Grit helmet, love
it. It attracts notice and comments. Well done guys.
The last photo is me at a much younger time in life, Thought
maybe someone might remember me.
House mice, in 1951 in Sasebo JP we lived in Quonsets and we all
had a house boy or as we called the house mouse, do not know
where the term started but guess it goes back aways…
Back in 51 we had AFR, armed forces radio and these guys were
always thinking stuff up, some of the funniest were the Salushi
samurai( the Lone Ranger) and fishnet(Dragnet) These were really
funny and I'm hoping someone has a copy I can get. Enough BS for
this time, yall have a great XMass and NY and stay safe.
