Sgt Grit is a place where Marines can come and meet other Marines, share tattoos and stories, keep up with Marine Corps news, or shop for USMC gear.
Thought I would share some pictures of our snow bulldog. My marine husband Kane, I and our three children Dakota, Cadence and Keely made with our very rare Christmas day snowfall. Posing beside is our bulldog Samson.
Merry Christmas Everyone!

There will be no Christmas turkey and trimmings for US marines at Patrol Base Talibjan this year — a chemically heated meal of preserved meat is all the infantry men expect.
The troops — living in unheated tents in the Taliban heartland of Musa Qala district, in southern Afghanistan’s Helmand province — will climb out of their sleeping bags as usual, plan patrols and hope the day ends without casualties.
“I’m hoping it’s going to be a quiet day and our guys can relax a little bit,” says Staff Sergeant Josh McCall, 32, who will call his wife and children at home in rural North Carolina on Saturday.

Dear Senator:
In over more than forty years of service as a Marine, I came to respect greatly and to appreciate genuinely the contributions you in the Congress render to our nation in the creation and sustenance of our armed forces. Indeed, at the time I was nominated to lead the Corps, one of my highly respected predecessors counseled me to remember that without the wise actions of the Congress, there would never have been, nor would there have continued to be a Marine Corps. On more than a few occasions during my tenure, some among you today, together with your predecessors, made the decisions that enable America to have armed services that are the gold standard of the world, and I thank you for that. More than once, you sought my views and advice on a wide range of matters and it was always my privilege to offer them. Today, I am assuming again that privilege with strong views that I believe are critical to the viability of the armed services you have been instrumental in creating and sustaining. I thank you in advance for hearing them.
