My younger brother Ernesto and I, grandsons of Maria Da Marcial Gonzalez.
Today, I learned that his oldest son is stationed in North Carolina.
I have to inquire, where in North Carolina.
My son served in the Corps in the 80's.
So that four Marines in my family.
Four of her sons served in WWII and one also saw action in Korea.
Grandma, as you instructed me;
"If you are invite to dinner and eat from someone table, it's your duty to repay that kindness".
We have repaid that kindness with interest.
Not bad from a family, that you and my grandfather raised after coming here from Mexico.
Another bit of wisdom that you taught me;
"Being poor is no excuse for being dirty, lazy or dumb".
We are not rich by any stretch of the imagination.
But this Nation is richer by our service in her Arm Forces.
