    Thank you for the kind words. I'd like to share with you some pearls of wisdom from my uncle who passed on at age 96. A few beers made him a great philosopher. He once told me that the secret to a long life was "never, never, never...... stop breathing. I might add that walking also helps. HA!!! God bless you and all our brother Marines. Thank you for your service. Semper Fi......JB33

    Sir, you are one of the last of the best of the best! I salute you Sgt! I have cancer and, at the age of 55, I hope I live as long as you have! Men like you are, and have always been, an inspiration to me. I have tried, all my life, to live up to your standards!

    So continue to HOBBLE around Marine, GOD BLESS YOU, and SEMPER FI!

    I remember my Gunny Sgt. He could sing cadance like a lark.
    SSGT Lyles looked and acted like a bull dog, and LOVED push ups
    Sgt Mills was the funniest DI there ever was.

    I loved the "O", and "I" course and was on the rope climb team. I can remember doing a Iron Cross for my DI's to prove that I can climb faster without my legs. Oh that was the day.

    To jb33;
    You never have to give a thanks to me for what you are doing(living with
    pain) . The only thinks is a semple Sempri Fi will do. I live with this pain ever
    day of my life but am proud to say I am able to wake up each morning. The real thanks should go to the ones that did not come home. I give them all the thanks and respect I can muster up. Please keep on keeping on,and
    doing what you do. Sempri Fi . cwsaffels
