It makes me think about how small we all are...
Also how brave those sailors are...
I know they think differently about Marines- they see us go off those decks--- but really, you should see the shit they face...It is extraordinarilay studly...
They have stones, is what I'm trying to say...
As an aside.., I want to tell you about some real dedication to our country.
I rolled off a bus at Parris Island, along with 121 other fellas.
I graduated with 88 of them.
21 of us were amongst that original 121, the rest were "pick-ups" from older platoons.
Of those 88- 38 died in combat. 38 out of 88.
In their first enlistment.
