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.
May God stand at the right hand of all our Brothers and Sisters-in-Arms, now and always as they are deployed to far away lands, dedicated to defending the cause of Peace and Freedom. May he comfort them and their families during this Holiday Season. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
These plates can be obtained from the Secretary of the State of Illinois by any Illinois resident who is an active Marine or a Marine veteran.
To add to the “collection.” Attached are the Marine Corps license plates on my Buick LeSabre (Marine 1) and Honda Accord (Kor&VN)

Here are a few Marine Corps related Virginia License Plates I have had in the past. Most are obvious to our Marines, including an abbreviaed “Tun Tavern.” W15E25″ of course were my two units in Korea (’52-’53): WpnsCo, 1stBn, 5thMarines & “EasyCo, 2ndBn, 5th Marines.”

My husband, SGT. Cooke, got this hummer stuck in the mud, and I think it is the best picture of him that I have seen so far. This was taken earlier last year when we just got stationed in Indian Head, MD at the Naval Surface Warfare Center. Thought you could do something with this picture!
I Decided that if the Corps wanted a 56 year old vet again, that I was not going to hump. As you can see I am going to finish rebuilding my M50A1 Ontos. Thought you may get a kick out of seeing one again.

Hi Sgt Grit. thanks for the extra stickers the guys at the VA Hospital send their thanks also.
I too am doing my part in a small way to remember those who came home and those who didn’t. I am also sending a message of patriotism to those who have forgot. I am doing this through the murals on my Custom 97 Ford Truck Called “American Dream”. My truck is being made into a Rolling Tribute to all my brother veterans. It is also a tribute to our Great Flag. On the hood of the truck is a Bald eagle crashing through the hood and the Flag and in between his wings is 2 soldiers one of which is helping the other up into heaven.
