Honoring the bravery of the Montford Point Marines

[TheEiram50]

It"s my pleasure, now more than ever to call myself a United States Marine. I heard from a very proud daughter of a Montford Point Marine, the story of her father and his distguished brotheren. I served close to 8yrs in the Corp and never heard of the Montford Point Marines, even as I did a tour at Camp Lejeune, the only one I knew of was Hashmark Johnson. All that changed when Col. S. Smith, told her fathers story. So rich of a history, one that should never be forgotten. Pls Congress, voteYES!

As a black male this brought tears to my eyes. I'm a poolee I enlisted in the Corps about 5 months ago. I ship for boot camp in march. This gives me motivation to work even harder. These men paved the way for me to have the chance to enlist. I will not waste it.

Well done, kudos to The Commandant for illustrating this history. My first post Boot Camp/ITR school was at "The Point". I was fortunate enough to serve with SgtMaj Huff in Iwakuni, Uncle Brady Outlaw limped the rest of his life from his Iwo wounds. Lessons learned from them & other MP Marines I met later in life, still stay with me. I tip my hat and wonder how I would have dealt with all they did as well as them.
