Brothers and Sisters, as I look at these awesome pictures, I have to give myself a big kick in the arshe!! You see, I served with folks that did the battles of WW II and Korea. It never really occured to this young Marine (me) to thank those folks for what they did or to pick there brains or take their pictures or any of the other stuff that makes history. I say all this to ask you young folks now serving to seek out those "lifers" or old farts and thank them. Take their picture and make lots of notes. When you get to be my age then you can share with the younger folks. Besides, it's refreshing to look back and take a different look at what you did in your earlier days of the Corps. - - End of sermon - -
