"I wouldn't want my wife to give me hell for lettin' that guy get my money," he said with a smile. Don't mess with a Marine! Today we were shopping in a grocery store and a gentleman who had a few years on me was in line just in front of me. He had a ballcap with a Marine logo, so I asked if he was a Marine. "Yes I was, once." "Well, thank you for your service," I said. "I appreciate that." "When were you on active duty?" "Korea." "Oh, bad weather. No fun in the sun on that one, eh?" The conversation went on like that as long as we had the time in line. That man looked like the same kind of fellow pictured in the article you linked to. I have no doubt of the fate of anyone who tried to pick his pocket, either.
