 When you think of the people in the Marine Corps that were, you know, the rocks of the corps, you think of people like, you know, howlin' Mad Smith, who commanded the Marines at Iwo Jima, who developed the concept of the Fleet Marine Force Pacific, howlin' Mad Smith. He was my godfather. He was my godfather. All the greats of the corps, the, you know, people like Lou Wilson and Bob Barrow, twine and chute, vantagriff, they all sat around my dining room table when I was a young lad. And it's through them and people like them and my father that I came to have this passion and this love for this corps of ours.
