To One and All,
I would like to give my thanks to one and all, for your help, friendliness, and dedication to helping your customers. This does not go unnoticed, even when at times I am sure it seems so,
and is greatly appreciated.
I am writing this because this year I decided to attend the Marine Corps Ball in my Dress Blues, while this may be the normal course of action for most Marines, I have been off of active service for 20 years, and have never worn my medals, just the ribbons. I do still fit in my Blues, even though they have seem to have shrunk just a touch between the chest and the waist
over the years. I would not have been able to get my Blues ready without the help of everyone at Sgt. Grit, Semper Fi for everything you do!
Attached are a couple of pictures before going in to our table, and I wear my Blues in tribute to all veterans past and present, but mainly for my Dad who has been sick this year, and for my Step-Father who was a MGySgt in the Marine Corps, with tours in Korea and Vietnam, who is a big influence in my life. OOHRAH!!
Floyd G. Shaw
Sgt.
Semper Fidelis
