This is a photo I took of our first grandson (sent with permission). He was born October 9 to SSgt and Mrs Jeremy Messerschmidt. I think his daddy shows a whole new meaning to "the proud" He was 8.5 years of trying and two trips to Iraq before he arrived. I am so proud of my son and his wife, and of our new grandson. What these families give up and the amazing strength they show is a blessing to all of us. The wives and the families stand behind these brave men and support them 100%. read more

Sgt. Grit,

This is daughter, Miss Sabrina Kay Dalley. Her Daddy is Sgt. Christopher C. Dalley. She wanted to join the Marines, right now at age five. So, we took her down to the recruit office and she got a card, that she signed herself, saying that she is an honorary Marine. That is the best we could do………..for now. read more

Just brought my own devil pup home, and since I bought him a cover and romper from the website a couple of months ago, I thought you guys might like to see who wears them on occasion.

Dear Sgt. Grit,

I was just browsing through your Marine Scuttlebutt pages and saw that you had a section for Devil Pups. I am a former Marine and actually about to go back in after being out for 3 years. Once a Marine, Always a Marine, right? Guess I didn't get enough the first time around….Anyhow this picture was taking when my daughter was about 2 years old one evening after the rifle range–she's 6 now and still tells me that she's gonna be a Marine one day. If you wouldn't mind posting her picture in that Devil Pup section that would so rock, she is such a ham for the camera. read more

Sgt Grit:

I'm a Former Marine Sergeant who served from 1980-1986. I went to Parris Island in September of 1980 as a member of Platoon 2087. First stationed at Camp Lejeune as a Field Artilleryman in Alpha 1/10 and later HQ 1/10. From there, I ended up on Embassy Duty where I served as a Marine Security Guard at the American Embassies in both Reykjavik, Iceland and La Paz, Bolivia. Even though that era is considered "peacetime," I lost a lot of good friends in both Beirut and Grenada. read more
