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.
My husband, Rick (USMC 77-80) and I always knew our son, Aaron, was a warrior. In preteen years his bedroom assumed a camouflage identity. In teen years USMC posters were added. At 16 he and his best friend, Austin, worked out with the local poolees. They memorized the hymn, the prayer…if it could be memorized, they did so. The neighbors would see them sparring in our front yard, or running the streets together.
Sgt Grit; An old photo of ITR , this was when you got the M-14 in boot , M1 Garand in ITR and back to the M-14 everyplace else. My son just gave me a M1 for a gift, hell of a shooter . Regards; Tony Nemitz
I have read several submissions on the subject, ?Old Corps vs. New Corps,? and I have to say it is rather ironic to read these, as the old salts of yesteryear frequently assume the Corps was better when they were in, was harder and tougher, and the training superior.
You know that famous saying that Ronald Reagan first uttered?
“Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don’t have that problem.” Ronald Reagan, President of the United States; 1985
“Iwo Jima Today” with young Marines scrambling up the steep dunes. The major difference between 1945 and today is that no one was shooting at them!!!
Good pictures, good reminders!

Dear Friends & Family,
I did it…all 26.2 miles, on very little sleep, thanks to the arrival of our daughter, Reagan Lynn, just days before. What an incredible experience, between the birth of my second daughter on Friday and finishing my second marathon on Sunday. The race course took us all around Philadelphia past many of the best memorials and sights, all while receiving amazing support from a passionate Philadelphia crowd. I finished the marathon in a little over 3 hours and 48 minutes.
