The United States Marine Corps will be 228 years old tomorrow. I want to take this time to recognize a few members of my family, and all my other Brothers and Sisters who have served, and who continue to serve.
My Father - Cpl, USMC, 1966-69, 1st Shore Party Bn, 1st MARDIV, Vietnam, Hue City, Da Nang
My Uncle Tommy - Cpl, USMC, 1965-1969, 24th Marines, Vietnam - Khe Sahn
My Cousin Mike - Sgt, USMC, 1966-1969, 3rd Recon, Vietnam
My Great Uncle Frank - Sgt, USMC, 1942-1945, Mike Battery, 14th Artillery, 4th MARDIV, WWII - Siapan, Tinian, Iwo Jima
I raise my glass tonight, and give you the traditional toast...
