Marine Cast Designs
Afternoon and sorry we missed meeting you in November during a visit to store. Your staff took care of us and we could not have been more pleased.
Just a funny for web….In December fell off a ladder breaking wrist and ankle. In the cast room treated by a couple of “DOCs” and we decided to have a little fun. No cast for wrist/arm so could not expand the fun.
Always a Marine…

Veteran’s Day at Aurora Sportsman’s Club
Sgt Grit,
I'm including a couple of photos from our Veterans Day ceremony at the Aurora Sportsman's Club in Illinois- each year the Civilian Marksmanship Team gets together and stages this event- everyone wears the uniform of their time in service- as we marched past some older vets, they saluted our group and I have to tell you it brought tears to my eyes.
Fathers Day
Fathers Day
On 30 January, ’04, ( my 62nd birthday) my son retired as a Senior Chief, US Navy, at the Washington,D.C. Navy Yard.
I and all of my family was moved by the flag ceremony, as it is passed from one sailor to another and saluted.But nothing moved the family more when my son stopped in front of me and presented the flag to me. You see, I served in the Corp back in the early ’60s, 1st Bat.,2nd Div. The flag presented to me flew for two days at the Marine post in the D.C. Navy Yard.
The Ka-Bar Tradition Continues
Dear Sgt. Grit,
I am the only son of a WWII Marine Corps aviator. My father, Capt. Doit L. Fish, was assigned to Marine Bombing Squadron VMB-611 as a PBJ-1 (B-25 Mitchell) pilot, Moret Field, Zamboanga, Mindanao, Philippine Islands. On May 30, 1945, Commanding Officer Lt. Col. George A. Sarles lead an all-day, multiple PBJ strike on the Kibawe Trail area near Davao, Mindanao. In the morning, Col. Sarles' PBJ was hit by Japanese anti-aircraft and crashed with him and three of his crewmembers KIA. In the afternoon, while en-route to the target area, my father and his wingman were advised the Colonel's aircraft was missing. After searching the area for the lost aircraft to no avail, the two PBJs attacked their assigned target area. My father's PBJ disappeared, never to be seen again. He and his seven-member crew were declared missing in action. The loss of 12 brave fellow Marine squadron members was VMB-611's highest single-day causalities in their short history.
