I wish I could give that a hundred recommendations. It made me wish I were young enough and could hear well enough to get in the Corps.

My Dad was a Marine. On the last weekend of his life he went dancing with Mom. They played the Marines Hymn. He said "Stand up everybody! That's the National Anthem."

Three days later he got up, made the coffee, and walked back to the bedroom. He was dead when he hit the floor.

God how I pray for an end like that, although not so soon.

My brother was a Marine in Vietnam. I'm forwarding this to him.

I tried to join the Marines in 1966, but washed out in the hearing test. I had shot my .44 too many times.
