My ” New York Marine” automobile plate

Sgt. Grit   I have been a PA resident for nearly 15 years. When You offered the Marine State plates I jumped at the chance to get one. When I joined the Corps in Jan 1955 I was a NY resident so I wanted to honor my Marine Corps heritage  with the NY plate rather than one from PA. I get many comments about the plate… not always flattering. But I proudly say “F— em’ if they can’t take a joke.” I love PA but I’m a native born New Yorker and proud of it. Thanks for the opportunity to flaunt my Marine Corps heritage. Several people ask me how to get one of these plates. Perhaps you could offer them again.   Attached is a photo of my plate.   Many thanks Marine.   Cpl. Fred Finch USMC Jan 1955 – Jan 1959

My Days Are Good

Yo Grit,

When I’m having a “bad day,” I think of Charlie Smouse.  On his 9th Birthday, Charlie suffered a massive (read MASSIVE) stroke.  Charlie has recovered to the point where he can talk, walk & has very limited use of his left arm & left hand.     I wrote your staff an email request for a special order T shirt & Sweatshirt for Charlie.  An email and phone call later, Kristi, your Chief Operations Officer of Customer Relations stated, & I quote: “Hello Hugh. We certainly can do this. Forward me your info. It was a pleasure getting you squared away, have an outstanding Marine Corps day! Semper Fidelis”    I’ve attached a photo of Charlie wearing the Sweatshirt Kristy & I designed. What better way to work oneself through adversity than to “Improvise Adapt Overcome.”  From Charlie, his parents, brother and sister, and especially from me, thank you Kristi and thank you Sgt. Grit.    -Cpl H. J. Roche 2196912

ROK Marine

I had Sgt Grit make a ball cap for my barber, a ROK Marine.  When I gave it to him, he had a smile from ear to ear.  He has many ROK Marine memorabilia in his shop, including U.S. Marines things.  This tells me “Once A Marine, Always A Marine” also refers to our ROK brothers.  I have attached a picture of the cap.  Thanks, Sgt Grit, for doing a great job in creating this cap.  By the way, no, I did not accept a free haircut. read more
