Another Marine

October 10, 2019

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, Master Sergeant Floyd, and then take your new post. You still have important work to do. Semper Fi, and carry on.
