Once a Marine Always a Marine I joined the Corp in 1977 and Have remained and will always remain a Marine at Heart, Body and Soul. The World is A changin but it's both nice and an Honor to know that My Brothers/Sisters are alive and kickin ready to answer the call, whenever or where ever the need. I've always believed that not all change is neccessarily good but in the case of the United States Marine Corps nothing could be finer. One of the best decisions I've ever made.
