A couple days ago I posted a short video clip from Nam. The picture here is of me on left with some of the guys from the clip ... we're a bit different. The young guy in the middle is a great guy we met while at Marine Sniper School in Hawaii last March. He is now on the east coast. He is a Navy Corpsman who has been serving with Marine snipers. A veteran of both wars and getting ready to return to Afghanistan.
We were staging for Rolling Thunder at the Pentagon in this picture. And this young man wanted to come and see us so he drove a few hours north to DC, parked his car at a hotel not so nearby, and walked his way to the Pentagon calling along the way to locate us in the midst of thousands of others ... that is Semper Fi. As is the fact the guys with me remain my best friends to this day.
Back to real life. We're recarpeting the entire house and spent the last week or so packing, today is moving, er recarpeting day.
