Once a Marine Always a Marine "one of Our VA Marines

Postby Paliden » Tue, 08 Feb 2011 09:00:15

Here's a story from Martinsville VA that I think shows what you mean: "Once a Marine alway a Marine no matter what you came from, where you came from, your a brother now"

That's a great story, thanks for posting it... and there is also a movie of the same name that sort of gives a rough rendition of the Code Talkers. And your right... Once a Marine, always a Marine.

Semper Fi.... from this one to all of you.
