Harley

Sgt. Grit,

My nephew is a Marine and currently stationed in San Diego. My dog Harley misses his cousin Tony very much since he left for the Marines eleven months ago. We participate in an annual fund raiser for the local humane society called The Mutt Strut which includes a costume contest. This year we felt it was very important to honor my nephew and all Marines so this year Harley dressed as a Marine. He may be small in stature but he definitely has a Marine attitude. We hope you enjoy these pictures. read more

Great Catalog Picture

Sgt Grit,

On the way to this years Marine Corps Ball, this retired devil dog stopped to check his mail. How wonderful it was when he received his favorite catalog. Dress blues are very appropriate when receiving a SGT GRIT catalog. This photo was neither fixed or set up in any way. I thought it would be a great shot of my best friend, MSgt Joe Diaz, USMC, retired, checking his mailbox in his dress blues. It was a lucky shot. A great start to great ball. read more

Sgt. Grit:

After looking through your latest catalog for rank decals, I didn't like the size specified, and also didn't find any "hash marks". So, I ordered the Dress Blue chevrons and service stripes I needed and "crazy" glued them to some magnetic material I found. So far, they have held up in the weather here in middle Tennessee.
