You know I have noticed the USMC medallion for years and I have known many. You guys take your heritage very seriously. I spent 3 years in the US Army many years ago but I could not tell you the US Army's birthdate to save my life. Yet every Marine I know says it's the test to tell if someone is being truthful about their service. I also was told as a former Army medic that the only person entitles to wear the globe and Anchor other than real marines are the US Navy Corpsmen who go into the field with real Marines. I am glad to see you are proud of your service. You wrote a blank check to the US government and the people, whether or not you were deployed or even ever saw hostilities, that's what people don't get. Thankfully I did not. Thank you.
Being kind to others costs nothing and enriches your life,
never forget how you felt when someone was once cruel to you,
we all have felt unloved at one time or another we should never want another to feel that way.
