deer

still at it with my lil brother dave and buddy joe from conn. ( they cant shoot for shit! if they were they wouldnot get a wiff!)

vets day,,,,

 i signed on the dotted line in 78 and wouldnot trade one moment as a marine for anything. i miss it , or should i say, i miss the brotherhood of men. marines.
it isnot found in the civ. world, i never met one person out here that has matched up to those i served with, its a marine thing we share.
once a marine always a marine.

 but everyone who served has my respect! they also gave for this country ,time, blood, life. just kids willing to die to protect our rights and way of life, and for each other.

 you enjoy today, but remember that someone served so that you could do just that,,,enjoy your day!
they are still out there standing a post some were here in the u.s.a , or taking cover from incoming. over seas.
so as i have written here before, enjoy that day off, your hotdog and cold beer....but remember why you have it! its because of a veteran , plain and simple.

and now i will say thank you to our active duty , and my nephew pauly with 2/8, thank you, i love them all.
and to all who came before you, welcome home , and god bless. SEMPER FI!
