Sgt Grit is a place where Marines can come and meet other Marines, share tattoos and stories, keep up with Marine Corps news, or shop for USMC gear.
Thought you would get a laugh out of your sign, decal, emblem or what ever it is called.. I put the Marine emblem on my truck in the 3 spots where the original “Excursion” emblem is,,, I wanted to replace the original, but,, your emblem was too small to cover the factory holes for mounting.
Sgt Grit,
My son and I are almost done with his 1953 GMC motto truck. We’ve worked on it for about a year now. He’s only 8, so I still have some time to finish it up before he can drive. I thought I’d share our pic’s with you and your staff. Thanks for serving and providing us with great gear. Please feel free to use these pic’s in anyway you see fit.
Hi Grit,
I have something here that some of your retired Marines might like, if they like to fish. It’s a Kiwi Kayak named the “Angler”. I got it three years ago and fixed it up to be my “Marine Fishing Machine”. My Explorer, being my transporter, also plays the “Marine Corps Hymn” at my command. It only weights 65# – being 73 years of age – I can handle it by myself with no problems. The trolling motor give you 40# of thrust on a fully charged battery. I really recommend this to all Marines Active and Retired.
A Warm Hello and Greetings from Hobe Sound Florida!
It?s always good to be home after a great road trip!
It was O? Dark Thirty when I wheeled out my Harley Fat Boy and headed to the Cumberland Farms Store where I was to meet Gunner. Our timing was good and we both headed North on I-95 to the rest area in Port St. Lucie where we hooked up with the rest of our Treasure Coast Chapter of Leatherneck?s M/C. Some rode from as far South as Miami, Ft Lauderdale, Boca Raton & West Palm Beach. There was Blue our President, Popeye our Sgt of Arms, Budda, Skip, Houdini, Gunnz, Gunner, some others and myself. Now we were a number of cycles in a safe staggered formation as we hammered our way up the super slab. We made several stops to meet up with other Leatherneck?s still further North. From my position near the back of the formation I could see everyone and counted tail lights after each stop to insure we left no man behind. I could not help but notice Blue up front there in the lead with his white pony tail waving in 80 MPH breeze. A good Marine who did far more than his job in Viet Nam, he earned a Bronze Star. Without exception, we all elected him as our President last year. As we rode I felt sure that each of us from up front to the back door had the same feeling – that this was really going to be a good ride. A ride that we will always remember?
Here are some pics of a bike that I put together over the winter. It started out with a licence plate frame. Some Semper Fi emblems and just took off from there. Any who I thought you might like to see it. I am a retired 22 yr Gunny7. I still have the chip in the back of my head.
Well, Here it is.. Just rolled out of the garage.. Thanks so much for the flags & tubs.
I had the color matched to the decals. Someday mabye I can afford someone to airbrush them, then clearcoat. Will need new rubber soon. I am taking it to the MidWest Annual Jeep reunion the 15, 16, & 17 here in Mason OH. I also will be carrying the Grand Marshall in the American Leigon Memorial Day parade here in Mason OH.
Sgt. Grit,
We have some pictures that were colored by employee?s children during our Memorial Day get together and would like to find some troops to send them too. Do you have any poc?s. You also asked for some bike photos so here are a couple of my 2007 FXSTC. It is a Soft tail Custom and had the Harley Marine Corps covers on it. The local dealer Killer Creek Harley had to find the air cleaner lid in New York as Harley Davidson stopped making them. I am not sure if they have resumed making them or not. Thanks and Semper Fi!
