Good Morning Jim,wave I never realized your Marine Corps was established in 1775, Quite amazing, :thumbsup Canada here, never became a country till 1867. Alot of history and proud tradition there, something to be proud of. I ve always felt the militarys of both our countries never get the credit, praise, and recognition they deserve. Nice blog there Jim, Thankshandshake
Jim. How long were u in the Marines. I love boating but hate submarines. What did u serve on ?
Thank you 121,

Yeah the military usually only gets bad press! Amazing! We are the defenders of our nations!thumbs up

I salute you and give thanks to you and those who risk their life's for the nation.
My late father was also in the military, and received a purple heart and other medals.
I now have a grandson who is in the British military as an engineer, and before going off to a war torn country he was allowed to come see me in South Africa before being shipped off to a place he would not say. The marines
To my knowledge have made the best and most honoured men there are. I speak from my son in law , who is a real darling. And without a doubt your persona comes across to me as your profile name

How about you? Have you are anyone in your family been in the military?
Thank you Fiery! Hope to live up to my persona!thumbs up
wave no Jim.. no one has served on a permanent basis. I don't know how the families of those that are enlisted must cope. Never knowing what is happening..
