Winchester, VA

I was raised by a father that proudly served 20 years in the Corps. As a little boy growing up in the 50's, I always admired him and his fellow Marine friend that was bigger than life to me. The uniform, the esprit de corps, the brotherhood of all Marines and the Marine hymn always brings a special sense of pride to me. One of my regrets in life was that I didn't become a Marine when I enlisted in the 60's. I may not have become one, but I sure do have "Marine" in my blood! Semper Fi Marines !!
