I Salute you too, Dan!

You sure as hell earner that RIGHT!! From those I know who are Marine Veterans, my late BIL as well (3rd Battalion, 9th Marines in Vietnam), Marines are TOUGH MFers not to be trifled with.

Wear your shirt and Ball cap with PRIDE. Anyone stupid enough to mess with you are in a world of hurt. For your weapons are your wit, experience, your vocabulary, and overall knowledge. Semper Fi!
