No offense taken. I have worn the USMC uniform with pride. I did so for almost 4 years. I took care of MY marines and they took care of me. I have been in fights with Navy personnel because of their disparaging me and MY Marine corps Uniform. I have also been cussed and spat on because of MY Marine Corps Uniform(this happened in that lovely city by the bay). Unlike you, I did not have a choice but I am PROUD of my Marine uniform, and will be buried in it. I was authorized by the Department of the Navy, United Stated Marine Corps to wear the uniform. It was Issued to me at USMCB Camp Lejeune, NC in Oct, 1968. I last wore my Marine uniform in Apr, 1972

Right On Brother, I will be burried in mine too(Different Size) though. We will take our hard work,respect, and love of (our) Marines to our graves. Helped an old grunt at the VA last week with some paperwork issues. He turned to me and said ” still takeing care of the Marines-ha Doc” . Made me smile, and I guess I know what a warm fuzzy is !!!! Always thought it had something to do with liberty !!!
