Good Devil Dogs.  Semper Fi poeple.

Yep.  Dad's buried in Arlington.  I'll shoot some fireworks in honor of all Vets tomorrow night.  Thank you all!
I'd rather be skiing

This is my brother doing winter warfare training in the USMC, ~1983 Norway:

His skiing background came in handy for that exercise, but his true love is surfing, which he still does much of the year in So Cal at age 64.  He also makes and paints custom boards.

Tomorrow I hope to visit the USNA in Annapolis on Veterans Day with my dad, class of '43 and a D-Day survivor among his other exploits.  Bonus, here's a shot of him and my mom around 1976 on Killington Peak:

Happy Birthday Marines!  234 and going strong. 

Went to a local gathering tonight of former and retirees; 1st SOFB - (Semi Old Farts Battalion).  My daughter was the youngest (24) Marine present and fortunately the oldest Marine (68), finally showed up.  I was next in line

S/F,

Ken
