Thanks for those words. I truly needed words of encouragement. I lost my mom on May 3, 2012. I will going to her wake in a couple of hours. Her funeral is tomorrow moning. God made her 85 years ago and loaned her to me for 66 years. I have a lot of good times to think about. I am James. God Bless...

I was aboard the Big E as a member of the Marine Detachment (1965-67). During our deployment here, we would have fly overs by Russian "Bear" aircraft. Our fighters would get so close to them, I think they used communication signs like in the movie "Top Gun". LOL

This is a HUGE ship! As a US Marin...

I served as a US Marine aboard the Big E 1965-67. During our 40th Marine Detachment, Big E Reunion in 2005; we saw them building this ship in Newport News Shipyard! Wow, to see her now is awsome! They were putting her together like prefab "leggo blocks". She is beautiful. Did you have Marines onb...

Does anyone remember this song in a b&w video during the 60's? The short story was about a young guy deciding to join the army after high school. Soon he is ordered to Viernam and has to tells his girlfriend good-bye. Later, military men pulls up to her house in a car with bad news. I have searc...

Yeah I miss it the "jungle", Club Harlem, monkey meat, hot poontang and cold San Miguel. Was there 65-66 (PFC-LCPL), Big E Marine Detachment (Shellback) and 75-76 K 3/4 Upper MAU Camp as a Gunny! Overnight liberty in civies on a weekend was a dream "cum" true. LOL Going back in July 2012.

Oooorah! "Its a small price to pay to be one of the world's finest".

Well spoken Marine! Semper Fi

You know I played this song again; and I could not help but reflect on the beautiful women whom I have known over these many years. Truely, in part, they made me the man I am today. When I fall in love...I fall so hard; so hard you can turn a 18 wheeler around in my nose. LOL I agree, "nothing ca...

Thanks for the "warm fuzzy". I too was in Nam 1969-70. I was 1st Platoon Sergeant, Mike Company 3/7. We were out on Hill 10 below Charlie Ridge (the Rocket Belt) and the Bo Bans. I spent 3 months out on Operation Oklahoma Hills fighting "hard-corps" NVA. Where you in Nam? Welcome Home!!

You dumb fucker! Hawaii is an American state. He did nnot get into Harvard because of Affirmative Action policies. He graduated from Harvard Law School with honors. How far in grade school did you go?

In 1969, I saw an A-4 drop "nape" on hard-core NVA position in Vietnam. One of the cannister bounced and did not explode. In a flash, the OV-10 pilot swooped down and fired rockets into it and it lit up like the 4th of July right under the OV-10's. He escaped the flames, but I bet the "rear seat...

As a retired U.S. Marine, I fought in Vietnam with some great "aussies". So why was Austrailia there? How were your mates cared for when they returned way "down under"? You can that bullshit...... MATE!

Yeah that was some funny shittt. lmfao

I agree with you. During my work with families; I heard these kinds of stories for 5 years. But to see it played out here is deep! LMAO

You got that right! I remember one weekend, I followed a goats trail to a the edge of the valley. I sat down to enjoy the beautiful scene around me. Then I saw jets flying through the valley BELOW me! I will always rememeber, "always maintain 3-points of contact" and "don't tie a granny knot in...

I attended MWTC in 1966. When we got there we had to stag our gear in our quanset huts and get outside for a 3 mile run. Since I was fresh out of Parris Island in 1964; I thought this run would be a piece of cake. When we began the run; I immediately thought I was going to die. The elevation was ...

Ok, you can request copies of the minutes form those government hearings if you have the nerve to learn the truth. All you have to do is file a Freedom of Imformation Act request. In addtion, keep your eye on the "Occupy Wall Street" movement all across this great country of ours...."We, The Peo...

You are right. After this song was released, I held my youngest daughter tight and just cried. I would have lost my mind had this tragic even happened to me. I have five girls and I hope I go before anyone of them. Mr. Clapton has the resilience of a lion....and yes, he will meet his son in heav...

You are welcome. Play this song after you have earned the title, United States Marine. It will have a greater personal meaning to you. I hope to hear from you after your MCRD graduation. Good luck.

"there is nothing like that of a mother's love". Welcome home and thank you for your service.

As a retired Marine Vietnam Veteran. I really enjoy seeing how our deployed Marines are treated when they come home. Thank you America! Thank you for your service Marine. Semper Fi

It is clear to me you don't know Texashog shit about the Marine Corps. Just Google Marine Corps or Espirit de Corps and learn something new.

This Marine took this fun in stride. But she had that look on her face that seem to say, "Pay back is a motherf....!"

You are so right. Like you, I know some women Marines who would kick his ass and make him cry like the sissy he is. Ooorah

Sorry Leathernecks my pc is stupid...lol MARINES
