Semper Fi, Dave!

You may have overlapped with my BIL, he was 1st Plt, B 1/7 '69-'70. Sorry to say, he didn't make it back.

I ended my tour as an armorer with H&S Btn, 3rd MARDIV and got back to the world just ahead of the Tonkin Gulf incident. I guess it was the following March/April that we put combat units in the field.

Ooh Rah! and Happy B-Day.

We Navy folks took about 30 days to decide we needed marines 233 years ago and I am wondering why it took that long!

Hands down the best military bearing and leadership in ALL the services and well deserved:D!
