2nd on the pics, All heros in my book.

My dad served in the Big Red 1 (1968-69) in Vietnam and has three Purple Hearts.

My brother was to be awarded one during his tour in Ramadi. He was doing an evac for a wounded Marine and the Humvee he was driving hit an IED. One of the Marines lost a leg in the explosion. My brother was cut up some, but when told he was going to receive the Purple Heart, he said in good conscious after seeing how bad his brothers were injured and he walked away that he would not accept it.

There is a video on youtube of the incident, but it cant be posted here. Who would have thought that Marines use strong language from time to time. I can pm the link to anyone interested.

Nice pics Mark.. You can spot a Marine a mile away in a crowd of 1000's. Perfect posture and always carry themselves well. I've seen every style of graduation ceremonies given by the military. NO ONE comes close to a Marine Corp graduation or presentation

Blake, tell you brother I said thanks

You're probably right but the real fun is letting them prove it.

No, you can't... after some proper 'care', they wouldn't want anything to do with you!

This coming from the woman who is at home making 'sewage cakes'! (HER words, not mine!)

Great pics Mad! Probably the only thing actually worth reading today!

The mess dress is very different, but I love it. VERY comfortable! Sexy, too...

Marines are the best dressed, no doubt about that.

Well, ladies and gents, here is your Gung Ho Marine from class 4-09 of Career Course...



Mighty proud of that, I might say. Good times.

I'm going with one of my buddies this weekend, do I might not be around too much. Ya'll have a good and safe weekend.
