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.
“Iwo Jima Today” with young Marines scrambling up the steep dunes. The major difference between 1945 and today is that no one was shooting at them!!!
Good pictures, good reminders!
65th Anniversary 2010. Check our web site at www.miltours.com
You know that famous saying that Ronald Reagan first uttered?
“Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don’t have that problem.” Ronald Reagan, President of the United States; 1985
I have read several submissions on the subject, ?Old Corps vs. New Corps,? and I have to say it is rather ironic to read these, as the old salts of yesteryear frequently assume the Corps was better when they were in, was harder and tougher, and the training superior.
Sgt Grit; An old photo of ITR , this was when you got the M-14 in boot , M1 Garand in ITR and back to the M-14 everyplace else. My son just gave me a M1 for a gift, hell of a shooter . Regards; Tony Nemitz
My husband, Rick (USMC 77-80) and I always knew our son, Aaron, was a warrior. In preteen years his bedroom assumed a camouflage identity. In teen years USMC posters were added. At 16 he and his best friend, Austin, worked out with the local poolees. They memorized the hymn, the prayer…if it could be memorized, they did so. The neighbors would see them sparring in our front yard, or running the streets together.
I’m a retired Marine and I’m sending you some pictures of our wedding. I’m the Marine that proposed to my new wife at your Grittogether this year and wantted to share these with you. I’m a member of Leatherneck Motorcycle Club and we were married on Sept 26, 2009 at Eureka Springs. As you can see in the last picture, my Brother Marines had fun decorating my motorcycle.
Sgt Grit,
Much has been written about being a Ex or Former US Marine, but after doing 4.5 years in the Corps, I am neither an Ex or Former Marine.
For I go by the title of a: Recovering US Marine and I am still in Recovery.
Since I am in Recovery, with some sort of Recovery plan to deal with my Marine Corps ways, for my family and love ones … everyday is a struggle for these good kind people. But with hope, kindest, care, happy thoughts, love, feelings, and other happy words & kind thoughts … I will get over being a US Marine, someday, maybe, if I try hard, I can kick it, I know that I can.
