Posted by Sgt Grit Staff Fred Finch's New York Marine license plate   Sgt. Grit   I have been a PA resident for nearly 15 years. When You offered the Marine State plates I jumped at the chance to get one.

ROK Marine
Posted by Sgt Grit Staff Photo of ROK Marine ball cap made at Sgt Grit I had Sgt Grit make a ball cap for my barber, a ROK Marine.  When I gave it to him, he had a smile from ear to ear.  He has many ROK Marine memorabilia in his shop, including U.S. Marines things.  This tells me “Once A Marine, Always A Marine” also refers to our ROK brothers.  I have attached a picture of the cap.  Thanks, Sgt Grit, for doing a great job in creating this cap.  By the way, no, I did not accept a free haircut.
