Grandson and Future Marine
I have a picture of my three month old grandson in Marine cammies laying on a Marine flag all of which were purchased from Sgt. Grit. His name is Connor. He was born Sept. 5 at East Jefferson hospital in New Orleans. He weighed 8lbs 9ozs and yes he is a future marine.

Just In General
Hello,
My name is Jo Marie Fager. My dad, Martin, was a Marine, well still is, I guess! (Once a Marine, Always a Marine!) I just recently had my first child, a girl, Martina and my parents first grandchild. And as a shower gift my dad bought me both layette sets that you guys offer. About 2 weeks ago I finally dressed her in her new Marine gear! My dad was so happy! So, I just thought that if I sent you all some pictures of her and him, that maybe you might put them in your catalog.

Dear Sgt Grit,
While serving as a Corpsman with Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 4th Marines in Vietnam (1969) we got into an altercation near Hill 1154 near LZ Argonne. Some time during that period I souvienered a NVA/Chinese battle dressing. I told my Marines that I carried around 50 battle dressings in my gear for them, this one was for me if I needed it. I wore it on my helmet the rest of my tour and never needed it.
“Doc” Sanchez
Hey Sgt. Grit–
For your "Marine Corps BS pages", an entry for your "CORPSMAN" section:
I was working in the Electroenchephalogram (EEG) Clinic at the Naval Hospital, Great Lakes, IL, when the POWs came home from the 'Nam in January 1973. I felt proud to have 'known' them. Like many young hotshot Corpsmen I knew then, I couldn't keep my mouth shut. One day I was called into the Chief Nurse's office and chewed out for something I didn't do. When I was asked for my opinion I gave it, telling her to fornicate herself. She smiled and dismissed me. Next thing I know, Personnel Office called with orders for me: 3rd Marine Division, Fleet Marine Force, Okinawa. I was sent first to Devil Doc school at Camp Pendleton where I was honored to meet Gunny Allan J. Kellogg, Jr., Medal of Honor recipient for action in March 1970 in the 'Nam. He was our Company Gunny while I learned how to field strip the Colt .45 Model 1911 and the Mattie Mattel M-16 and dig a slit trench and give Morphine Sulfate 16 mg intramuscular and keep Marines alive under fire.
Corpsmen Quotes
I don't really give a rat's hind end for the blue side of the Navy. I managed seven years without stepping on ship. I wore green the entire time.
Have you thought about doing some other Corpsmen Quotes on shirts? ie: "You just sit right there and nice Doc will poor you a hot cup of Suck it the Hell UP!", or "If your going to be stupid, you gotta be tough". There are plenty of fine Corpsman sayings we tend to have for Marines that either malinger or are just not the sharpest knife in the proverbial drawer.
