My Marines

My oldest Marine is getting ready for his second deployment. This time he will be leaving his wife and 2 year old son. We wanted to have pictures of Ricky and daddy taken and they turned out so cute I had to share.

A Little Night Reading

We have been long time customers of Sgt. Grit. My daughter's father SSgt "Rooster" served from 1993-2002. Our daughter, Riley loves to hear her Daddy tell stories and always points out the Eagle, Globe and Anchor on the various Marine posters, items, and on t-shirts at both of our houses. She always reads your newsletter along with me and loves the decorated motorcycles, bull dogs and Marines who she says "looks like Daddy." read more

Scarlet and gold running through his veins

Scarlet and gold running through his veins.

Sgt Grit,

I have 5 sons, oldest is 12 and the youngest is 1yrs old. The picture is my middle son who is 6yrs old. Funny thing is, I didn’t even have him pose for this picture. I just asked him to give me the 1000 yard stare. He grabbed my cover, correctly placed it two fingers from the bridge of his nose, popped in to the POA and looked right through the camera and I into my soul. Scarlet and gold running through his veins. read more

Grandson of a Marine

Grandaughter of a Marine

Just felt like braggin' a little this evening. The guy in the pictures is our nine year old great-grandson, Ty Palmer, who lives in Edwardsville, IL. He wanted to see my uniform so I got it for him. The garrison cap is non-reg because the EGA for it is lost. This one belongs on the old barracks cap which is non-existant. It's a wee bit large. He's pretty well squared away except for the need of a haircut. read more

Although the technique may not be correct, SSgt. Kip Cashman’s niece and nephews pay honor to his service in Afghanistan this past Christmas. Remember, it’s the thought that counts.

Always proud of our son
