Hey Grit: I ordered all my stickers last fall but my License plate just got here a couple weeks ago. What do ya think. I didn't want there to be any confusion about what is important in my life. In Wisconsin you have to send a copy of your 214 to get these issued to weed out the posers. Nice job Wisconsin. No one knows what the Navy Marine Corps Medal means out here but I sure do see a lot of people looking at the back of my truck. And there sure are a lot of people that blow their horn and some that even salute when they pass me.

Chesty for President
I am not a Marine, but my #1 son is. A buddy of mine has raised 2 Marines, a boy and a girl, so when his birthday was approaching, I went to the Sgt. Grit site to find him something appropriate. With the help of your wonderful staff, and since it is an election year, I got him the following custom shirt.(see attached photos) Hope you like the shirt!

USMC Shorts
I want to personally thank Sgt Grit and Misty in customer service for rushing the shorts because they are custom order and getting them to me before the March of Dimes, March for Babies walk. They were worn proudly as you can see by my daughter and wife. Semper Fi!!!

Cake Cutting
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.

Semper-Fi
Most Excellent
Hey Sgt. Grit,
I have been looking for a large decal of the Marine Corps Emblem
to put on the back of my enclosed trailer, large enough to be
seen more than 3 feet away. When I saw your ad for the ground
cover, I looked at it and thought it would be perfect. So, I
ordered the emblem and the large Semper Fi.
Devil Dog Tattoo

Your black denim vest
Sgt. Grit:
Sending you pics of the vest I purchased from you. I wore it at the United States Seagoing Marine Fleet Review(reunion) in Branson, Mo.
Got many complements on it. We would like to thank you for your support of our organization. In our business meeting the members voted to donate $3000 to the Semper Fi fund and $1000 to Honor Flight Tri State in Cincinnati.
