Finished the book and thought it was much better than the first. This book does a better job of a COMPLETE portrayal of Chesty, warts and all. Highly recommend it to all!

tferg78 hit the nail on the head, but I would also add the 1st Division from WWII (Guadalcanal)!

All of the above stirs the nostalgia juices. This old fart thanks you for the memories. :p

My buddy and I met two great ladies there who to this day remain in our thoughts. Can't beat that!

As a native I have gotten more and more disgusted with the beauracrats who run the city. The unfortunate thing is the moderate, middle-class is fleeing the city in droves, so the PC'ers run...

After all, would Marines ever lie or tell tall tales?? :D

A young, former female Leatherneck joined our detachment last year after moving up from Camp Pendleton area. Since then, we have picked a WWII female Marine and 4 wives of members (Associate status)....

Out of curiosity where is Novi? My best friend (served together on Okinawa 59-60) lives in Burton (just outside Flint).
When you "lift a few" just make sure it is home brew and not that imported...

MCL Life Member. Can't make the National. Couldn't even make our Department Convention and that was only about 100 miles away. Just too damned busy. Have fun, and lift one for me!!! :D

As I saw elesewhere, what can you expect...

Ted Williams was one of the few 'big name celebrities' who didn't hide in Special Services during his two tours of active duty. He put his butt in harm's way. One can only wonder what more he might...

When I recite the Pledge of Allegience, I am not pledging allegience to any religious figure (God, Allah, Buddha, the Great Spirit, etc). My pledge is to the Flag and through it to my Country. So...

At our MCL meeting Thursday night, we were given a presentation by a Marine Captain (local coordinator) of the Commandant's new "Marine For Life" program. All I can say is its about time this was put...

I never got the chance to get to know Nomad personally but did exchange a few emails with him just before his passing. I'm going to miss his input and presence. :(
