We bought these baby dress blues from you before this little guy was even born. I am so proud of my Marines and hope that the little one follows in Pop's and Dad's footsteps!

The Most Expensive Turkey In South Carolina
Being stationed on a weapons station in Goose Creek, South Carolina we had pretty good security. But we also had a facility that had civilan workers coming and going through the main gate mostly, but at peak hours we opened a morning/evening rush gate to ease traffic. The Station was heavily wooded and just covered in some of the best looking deer, turkey, etc. to be found around the Ashley river.

It is a foot ferry that runs between Port Orchard and Bremerton Wa. There is also an Admiral Jack. My son-in-law is a Marine. Going on ten years.

Proudly Displayed
I've had my truck for a few years and have proudly displayed USMC products I've purchased from Sgt. Grit on it. I got my RV this year and as you can see I've already started with EGA's over the tail lights as well as the USMC memorial. It looks good but it would look great with a larger one of the memorial on the back though.

Pumpkin Carving
Thought you might want to share this… It is my understanding a Marine's wife carved this pumpkin. It took her about 16 hours.

I Informed The Commandant
"A Marine is a Marine… There's no such thing as a former Marine."

Iraq, 2004
Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Hagee, visited his Marines in Iraq for some photo ops at the Al Faw Palace in Baghdad. Marines stood in line to have their picture taken with the Commandant. At the end of the line stood an Army CW04 (me). I informed the Commandant that I served in the Marine Corps in Viet Nam with 2/5 at An Hoa in 1967. I then asked if a former Marine could have his picture taken with the Marine Commandant.
