Another Marine

February 24, 2020

Whenever I become aware that another Marine has answered his last muster, I am reminded by words in our Marines Hymn that tells us, the streets of Heaven are guarded by United States Marines. Stack arms and rest your pack, Lieutenant, and then take your post. You still have important work to do. Semper Fi, and carry on.
