I read the stories about the returned liberty card and about the Marine who asked who keeps their liberty cards. I wanted to tell you about my Liberty card from H&S Company 3rd Blt 5th Marines. I still have it in my possession. The policy in the company in 1964 was any Cpl or above kept their liberty card in their possession all the time. It was a priviledge reserved for NCOs as sign of Respect and Honor in the sure belief that no NCO in the company would abuse the priviledge. I kept mine proud of the fact that Corp saw fit to make me a NCO and give me that responsibility of freedom the Liberty Card symbolized.
