USMC Flag

USMC Flag

USMC Red Flag Proudly displaying our USMC flag from Sgt. Grit. By the way this flag saved our bacon….we live on a 60 acre farm in the Pacific Northwest. At the crack of dawn one morning a SWAT team of DEA guys drove up our 1/4 mile long driveway trying to access a spot in the woods north of our property where a pot field had been spotted from the air. Looking suspiciously at us at first [my husband was smoking….and he rolls his own to save money]they spotted the USMC flag and immediately relaxed. From their subsequent comments we could tell we were off the hook in their minds, as rightfully we should have been. Finding no way to get-there-from-here, they left and we never saw them again. I don’t know if they ever found what they were looking for, and I haven’t had the nerve to hike back there and look for it either. Periodically though a blackhawk type helicopter circles the woods north of our place real low in a grid search pattern. When they fly by, I just stand by my Sgt. Grit USMC flag and wave. read more

Son’s Room

Son’s Room


Sgt Grit-

I am a frequent visitor to your site and an avid consumer of USMC products. With the upcoming birth of my son, I wanted to create a unique room that would last well into his formative years.

You’ll notice the bumper stickers were used as border and I sent an image to a wallpaper company so I could have one entire wall showcasing one of my old CH-53’s landing on an aircraft carrier. I would have also loved to have used ribbons (stickers) as border but the ones you offer online are way too small. read more
