Dominic. I haven't found the picture of you yet, but I'll keep looking. I think you had just come back from a hospital tour, you looked like a a white sheet. Any way If I remember you went to Btn. supply. I came to see you and ask if I wanted a phantom. I said what would I do with one? There was some back and forth and you claimed you had it all figured out. So we came up with small refer. So one day a PC pulls up and ask if Sgt. Kishpaugh is around. Yep I said and the driver dumped off a crate with a small refer in it. I willed it the PLT. when I left.
Thanks Sgt Grit
Great t-shirt, Thank you Sgt GRIT!

Marine Recruit: Tears In The Sand
"Marine Recruit: Tears in the Sand" is an epic novel of Marine Corps boot camp (San Diego). A compelling unabridged account of recruit training as told by the Drill Instructor.
Author of Chronicles of a Marine Rifleman, Retired 1st Sergeant Herb Brewer, USMC, now brings to life this outstanding all-encompassing witty honest, caringly brutal, human, and timeless narrative. Combining two stories into one, he takes you all the way from the grueling view of the recruit to the panoramic mission and perspective of the Drill Instructor.

Heaven Gets A Good Marine
My father in-law passed away 10 April 2015. He was a good honest man who was always there when you needed him. He was proud of many things; his family, building his house and a few other things that came with the years. But most of all he was proud to be a United States Marine. I will miss him.

A Letter From A Marine’s Son
Dear Sgt Grit,
Jordan xxxxx died two years ago. I'm his oldest son. I'm ten years old. I have a younger brother and an older sister. So, I really like your magazines.
Sincerely,
Carter
P.S. Please send more magazines.
By the way, I like your magazines because my dad was a Marine. I want to be a Marine too.
1922… Now This Is Old Corps
I served with VMFA-314 from Nov. '67 to Dec. '68 in Chu Lai. In a past posting, I had mentioned Operation Military Embrace, and the Watermelon Run For The Fallen in Hempstead, TX, where I had reunited with some of my Vietnam brothers last August. This time, I'm sending some pictures of my father, Harry W. Kiehnle, who enlisted in 1922. He was a seagoing Marine and a bugler, who was stationed on the Battleship Utah for the Friendship tour of South America that sent General John J. Pershing to meet with South American heads of state, as he was still highly respected after having served as General of the Armies in WW I.
It’s The Norm
Before I get to the gist of my tale, I would like to say that, prior to 9-11, I was never thanked for my service. Since then, quite often. Usually by other veterans. Not always, but usually. If it's a veteran, I return the salutation. If not, I just say thank you and you're welcome.
