3rd GUNS reunion

Greetings Sgt. Grit. Just want to report on the 1st reunion of the 3rd 155/175 gun btry(SP) held at Quantico Virginia on September 22 to 25th. We had a great turnout of 47 members plus guest, totaling 88. It was a long awaited pleasure seeing a lot of guys I served with after 40+ years. We were all just young kids back then. Went to the Marine Corps Museum, a trip to D.C. and we had our reunion Banquet at the Globe & Laurel restaurant. read more

USMC Birthday Dinner Menu – 1970

Sarge,

While going through a closet to discard junk saved over the years…
I came across some dinner menus that had fallen out of some photo albums from Vietnam.

So here is the cover and the inside of our Marine Corps Birthday dinner menu and a picture with me as one of the cake escorts.
Didn't realize at the time the honor that was bestowed back then. Took time to realize that!
Course our hangar was no where's near the chow hall. So our meal was unceremoniously delivered in big vats.
Reading the C.G.'s message;
Yesterday was the Old Corps, today is now, and tomorrow is the New Corps! read more

Your black denim vest

Sgt. Grit:

Sending you pics of the vest I purchased from you. I wore it at the United States Seagoing Marine Fleet Review(reunion) in Branson, Mo.

Got many complements on it. We would like to thank you for your support of our organization. In our business meeting the members voted to donate $3000 to the Semper Fi fund and $1000 to Honor Flight Tri State in Cincinnati. read more

Dress Blues Pumpkin

Hello being  a former marine my family receives your catalog regularly, and noticed you have a photo contest. My son Brandon Devlin is a cadet in the MCJROTC program in South Iredell High School and will be attending the Marine Corps ball again this year through the program. Between Halloween Thanksgiving and the Marine Corps birthday my wife was inspired to honor my son’s commit to the Marine Corps and create this little master piece. Her photo was selected to be featured in our local newspaper and I was hoping that maybe you can find a small spot in your upcoming issue to add one of these pictures. Her master piece is titled “Boo Rah” Semper Fi    Regard Bill Devlin
