Black Knights
SGT. Grit,
Thank you for providing such an excellent site for Marines who have served and are serving. As it is shown in your site, no one knows what it means to be a Marine except for those of us who have served. I have friends who have been in all of the other services, and none of them displays the pride that a Marine former or otherwise displays when talking of the Corps. I am reminded of a quote I read from a Marine recruit who said “You can be in the Navy/Army or Air Force but you are a Marine.” Indicating our distinction of being referred to by the name of our branch of service.
God Bless you for your service as a Marine and a Vietnam veteran. The honor of having been able to serve in combat with your fellow Marines must be overwhelming.
SEMPER FI
