HQ Company Ninth Marine Regiment Third Marine Division RVN
Sgt. Grit,
Thank you and your staff for all they do for our veterans. I look forward to reading all the submissions to your newsletter, this is a great service that you provide. I like especially that your website offers links to help veterans and also helps us locate old friends. There is a special bond that exist between veterans that only grows greater as we age. Our Headquarters Company 9th Marine Regiment 3rd Marine Division RVN 65-69 will be holding its 4th reunion in San Diego, CA. April 12-14, 2011. Our fellowship this year includes a trip to MCRD San Diego; when we visited Paris Island in 2009 our tour bus stopped behind the “yellow foot prints” where our “not so lean” took position on those famous prints. There was a platoon of newly formed recruits standing across the way and I wonder what was going through their mind as they witnessed us forming up, I know their Drill Instructor got a chuckle out of it.
