Dear Sgt.Grit,

Just wanted to drop you a line a tell you how much I enjoy your newsletter from Marines, old and new. These stories from Marines past and present make me swell with pride of having served with some of the greatest. I am enclosing a picture of my truck, it says how much pride I have in being a Marine. I get compliments from former Marines, active duty and civilians thanking me for having served, something that servicemen never recieved when we returned home from Vietnam. Keep up the good work and to all Marines out there, SEMPER FI. read more
