Semper Fi Gunny-I served with Lima 3/26 and Hotel 2/1 from Jan. 70 to Jan 71- Welcome Home

Happy Birthday, Semper Fi

Oohrah

The Sgt. was my rank, The Rock was my nickname from birth (my mom hated my father's name) and 1970 was the year I was in Nam.

Ham an Limas weren't bad as long as you used about a half a baottle of tabasco. Wish i had a cuople cases of the old c rats- peaches and pound cake-the best.

Lima 3/26 and Hotel 2/1-Nam 1970-

This was excellent-it not only shows the Marines rendering honor but the other services also- SF

Lima 3/26 (Jan 1970 to March 1970) then after the 26th pulled out was with Hotel 2/1 2nd Platoon, 2nd Squad-Semper fi

Happy Birthday, Semper Fi.

I own a Colt, damned fine weapon.

Go Hawks!!!
