Devil dog opens his presents.

I sent you one pic of my newest grandbaby ( Thanksgiving Day ) but I didn't think to send you this one with both the blanket and the bear.

Hello,

As a former Marine and my husband an Active duty Marine, we wanted to send a picture of our 3 month old son, Landon as a future Marine. Happy Birthday Marines! Semper Fidelis!

Sincerely,

Sgt Grit,

Hi I have loved your newsletters and website. Ever sinec I left the Corps almost a year ago I have wanted nothing more than to get back in (I am unable due to a medical seperation). I wanted to share a story with you. On June 2, I had a beautiful little girl. I was extremely nervous since I was a tomboy growing up. Since she was born my fears have been calmed. She loves to "play" rough and wrestle with her puppy. She is my little devil pup. Both of her parents are Marines and it shows its in her blood. Her favorite blanket is a Marine Corps Blanket my gramma gave me for my graduation. She sleeps with it every night. And recently she has started growling…I find it hilarious. read more

Sgt,

Just thought I would pass on a pic of my dog. When I'm not working overseas I go to the local R.S. and poole functions with my dog. Thought ya'll might enjoy.

Sgt Grit;

Just wanted to share a photo of my devil dog. His name is 'Jarhead', and he's earned the name. He's currently an E-3, but that's after spending at least 6 months as a boot and being busted at least three times. He comes by his monicer and behavior honestly – he's in a proud Marine Corps family: My father was a Marine before WWII (Pvt Harold Somers), my brother retired after 23 years (MSgt Mike Williams), I did my 4 years, my son served his 4 (LCpl Peter Williams – part with the first outbreak of hostilities in Iraq with the 2/10), and my daughter was a Corpsman (HM3 Mallory Williams). We bleed crimsom and gold. Love your newsletter and eagerly await every issue. Let's see some other "Devil-Pets" and/or mascots – would also like to see some Marine Corps motorcycles. read more

Got these two tee shirts for my grandsons who happened to run into some Marines in Dearborn, Mich. My daughter said everybody was laughing! Great product! Thought you might want to know.

Thought that you would like to see the next Marine, this is his first Marine cap, but I am sure not his last.

This is my Grandson Nathaniel.
