Evenin, DTR...

Finally finished my Marine room (it's never really finished) today... figured I'd show it off. Comments are welcome!

It still blows my mind that my wonderful, talented, beautiful, loving, intelligent wife allows me to have this... I'm a lucky guy. Still don't know what she sees in me.

I'll tell you what, Marines are a special breed. My dad is an ex-marine from Vietnam and is just as gung-ho today as he was back then. I guess its true....once a Marine, always a Marine. Looks good BTW and thank you for your service.

Good job on the room Mark! And I know I've thanked you before... so again thank you for your service! I have a lot of respect for you!

Forget upgrading the room, put a tank on the front lawn of your house! It would make intruders think twice and be a cool addition to the neighborhood!

Id sure like to see the look on someones face if they actually managed to break in and chose that room to sneak through the window!

Looks good!

Thanks for the comments again... I'm proud to serve. Thanks to all for their service that have went before me and paved the way.

I've been thinking about some weapons, but I'm too stinking cheap right now.

Actually, the next thing I would like to do is a POW/MIA table next to the curio cabinet.
