I met a MARINE .

While traveling for work, I get not only to see different places, but meet many different people. My recent trip up to New Jersey introduced me to a gentleman that I was proud to meet. And I would like to take a moment to introduce him to you.

His name is Bob, and he owns his own Bus business in Pennsylvania. But more proudly, for me to meet and shake his hand, Bob was at CHOSIN Reservoir, Thanksgiving, 1950 . What a time for someone else to have the Company camera. :p And time did not permit me to buy him a beer.

At 73 years young, Bob was a benefit to my class. He was NOT boastful about his accomplishments, or brazen in his service to OUR Marine Corps. But the bearing was still there. His neat appearance, keen eye for detail, and determination of spirit were evident.

I invited Bob to join us at “LEATHERNECK.com”, and hopefully you too will be able to meet a living piece of OUR MARINE heritage, our tradition of accomplishments, and the legacy that we try to uphold.

Thank you Bob, for sharing a part of your pride with me.

SEMPER FIDELIS
