thanks to all who take the time to thank a veteran, i stopped 2 young marines one day comming out of a mcdonalds and shook thier hands and thanked them for thier service, and vowed i would keep them in my prayers, i also raise my flag every morning when i am able to do so, i am very proud to have served my country, i am proud to have been a marine, i still think i am like they say once a marine always a marine. . have a super day.
