I have seen a lot in my time on this patch of dirt.In the 20 years that I spent in the Marine Corps, I have seen people without fear march into the face of their enemy. Some have come home in one piece while others came home broken and battered. I have come close to meeting my maker more then a couple of times only to watch as someone that took my place did not return. It is on this day just like every other day I pay my respects to those that Gave Their All so that I could live and fight on another day. Semper Fi my firends. Your courage and dedication will never be forgotten.
