Improvise, Adapt, Overcome!
I would like to tell you about my son who became a Marine this
year. It has been his dream since he was very young to be a
Marine. Last summer he found out he could become a Marine
before he actually graduated high school.
He had a enough
credits to finish school in December. On January 8, he left for
MCRD. He was home in time for his High school graduation. He
wanted to graduate in his Marine uniform but the principal told
him he had to wear his cap and gown.
This upset him very much because he was so proud to be a Marine.
I told him to wear his uniform under the cap and gown and before
he received his diploma he should take off the cap and gown. He
did just that. I was so PROUD of him. You should have heard
the applause he got for that. It was a most awesome day for me.
My son had already achieved a couple of his dreams by the time
he graduated from high school.

My wife and I were having breakfast at a local restaurant This
morning Aug 1st. When I observed a family coming in and being
seated nearby they had four young children. I told my wife ut-
ho, then I noticed the father was wearing a white T-shirt with
large blue USMC letters.
The children were very well behaved and not loud at all. As we
left my passed first and complimented the man on his family and
how good looking they were. Then she asked him if he was in the
service. duh, guess she did not read the shirt. He replied that
he had four years regular, and was retiring in two months after
18 years reserve. Then My wife told him our grandson is
deploying in Oct. and some discussion followed.
Finally I was allowed to tell him Semper Fi, and shake his hand
and tell him that Aug. 2nd it would be 50 years since my release
from active duty. To which he told his oldest son, about six
here is another Marine and I received a salute from him. The
father told me the boy does no recognize any thing but Marines.
They were a very nice looking family, two boys and two very
obviously daddy's girls.
Simper Fi and thanks to all who are serving, and have served.

I just got back from the Cleveland MEPS station after watching
my son head to Parris Island to start boot camp. His mother was
not there but she spent all day yesterday with him. Today was
my turn. I feel proud to be his father and I pray that he stays
safe. I feel equally proud of what the Marine Corps gave me
over 21 years ago, and that I am watching my son do the same.
When my wife saw me off to Parris Island in 1987, she wrote
something in my issued bible that kept me going when the times
got rough. I carried that bible where ever I went during boot
camp. It survived like I did, but by graduation, it had band
aides stuffed in it along with ripped pages and worn cover.
This time I got the task of writing something. I hope it
motivates him as much as I was by my wife's inscription.
Trust in God for he will not abandon you in need. I look
forward to the day in which I can call you my son as well as my
brother.
We love you Christopher.
Stay Motivated!

I miss my kid! Thank God he will be back in Pendleton for a few
weeks so I can see him for a short time. This kills Marine Moms,

This morning I was reading the newsletter and I came across a
story from someone who had recently been to Shannon Ireland at
the airport. They told a story about seeing the Marines coming
through the airport and they gave them their cell phone. I have
to tell you as I read the story I broke down crying. My husband
is a Marine and we have been married almost 2 years now. We were
told in December that he was going to deploy to Iraq. Our first
daughter was born December 8th and my husband was activated and
deployed by January 8th. It was very hard on us because my
husband is a reservist and we are not used to the deployment
schedule. I was Navy and he was active duty Marine at one point
but since we have been married we have never had to deal with a
deployment.
When my husband got to Shannon Ireland, he called me and I was
very surprised as I did not expect to hear from him for a couple
more weeks. He told me that someone had given him a phone to use
and that he just wanted to hear my voice. When I read this story
this morning I couldn't help but think that there are still some
good people in this world who really do appreciate what the
troops are doing for them. So to whoever it was that gave my
husband that cell phone to use just so he could call me and say
that he loves me, I thank you and you are doing just as much for
the moral and well being of the troops as they are doing for
you. I do not know your name but I am thankful for you and
people like you every day because you gave me one more chance to
hear my husbands voice. Thank You.

Hello I just placed an order and feel it
is right of me to inform you of the recent loss of my son, LCpl
Wilson, Ivan I . He was KIA in Helmand Province, Afghanistan on
July 21, 2008... all so fresh in my mind, from the 5 am knock on
the door to now as I simply write this. I ordered some items and
wanted to share with you this. I am attaching a pic of him just
sent to me from his Marine buddies from the sand!
Thanks again,

hello, Let me start by saying i just love reading your stories.
we have twin boys that are each in different branches of the
service. one followed in his dads footsteps and is a Marine. he
has been in only a year now and is station in CA. He had called
one night just before the 4th of July and told me that him and
his wife went out to eat, and when they asked the waitress for
the bill, she had told them that it was already taken care of,
even the tip. they were kind of shocked, saying that no one has
ever been that nice to them before.
in turn i told him that there are people out there that want to
let our service men and women know that we are proud of what
they do for our country. now our other son went a different way,
he is and army soldier. and on his way from South Carolina to VA
the bus had stopped at a store for soldier to pick things up.
Well as my son put it, (mom it brought tears to my eyes). there
was a gentelman, who stood right outside the bus and shook
every, man/women's hand that came off that bus and thanked each
and everyone for fighting for our country.
right there my son knew he was doing something right with his
life and made him feel proud to be wearing that uniform. I
really wish we would hear more of times like this on TV. and not
all the bad things. we all need to be behind all our service men
and women. Thanks for the stories everyone and hope they never
stop's for one thank all i see. to let them know we love them
and our very proud of each and every one of them Thanks for your
time a proud mom of two soldiers

When my son came home after his Graduation in 07 I went to my
local Wal-Mart to buy groceries and other stuff I had on my
Proud Mom of a Marine sweat shirt on and some woman I have never
met before came up to me and called me a bad mother and a B****
because I let my son join the Marines! I was shocked because we
had just came from a place where our military are hero's, not
bad people.
All I could say was "I am not going to slap you in the middle of
Wal-Mart" I was hurt and mad till a older gentleman came up and
said to thank my son for his service.
The blatant ignorance and rudeness of people still amaze me,
another time my son was at a local mall with some of his fellow
Marines and a woman came up to them and told them she wished
they would all die in Iraq! D0 These STUPID PEOPLE not realize
that those young men have families that are worried about such a
outcome?? WHY can't people think before they open up their
mouths? And to those young Marines credit they just very quietly
said "Yes Ma'am".
To all of those people who feel they have the right to speak
freely..on behalf of my son, you are welcome!

The intent of my letter was not to put down members of the Honor
Guard, who served with the other branches, but to point out my
pride in the Marines that are members of the Guard. They stood
out so much by their bearing and wearing of their uniforms. It
is good that all of them provide a great service for vets that
have passed on. If you recall from my letter I also mentioned
that it understandable that some cannot salute properly due to
age or physical disabilities and I am sure that some of the
disabilities were incurred during military service.
You sound like you are a Corpsman that served with Marines.
Corpsman assigned to Marines are Marines. As an infantryman, I
got to know and have lots of respect for our Docs.
Thanks for serving with the Honor Guard.

Dear Sgt Grit.
My boyfriend and I read your newsletters and eagerly await your
catalogs. Just wanted to tell you his story. His name is
Robert .
He joined the Marine's when he was 17 years old and spent 1 tour
in Vietnam. He was with a CAP unit wounded (3 grenades). He
received injuries to both legs, both arms as well as a head
injury. But being a Marine he wasn't about to let it stop him.
At 58 years old he has worked at the Army Corp of Engineers for
nearly 30 years, coached and umpired various youth sports and
still plays a mean game of softball.
The fact that he survived would in itself be a testament to both
him and the Marines but he has never given up. Even after a
knee surgery that left his knee stiff and difficult to bend he
still continues to the surprise of his doctors and coworkers but
not to me. He never complains and is always there to lend a
hand with a smile on his face.
When the troops returned from Vietnam there were no parades, no
job well done. He wears his cover and Purple Heart proudly. He
displays his status as a Marine with pride as well he should.
Although long overdue he now receives thanks for his years of
service and sacrifice from strangers on the street and in the
store.
Robert is my hero, a testament to his courage, his strength, his
determination and his immense pride to be a United States
Marine.
Thank you,

To the Young Lady Marine,
I read your email this morning and it brought tears to my eyes.
Your parents will be so proud of you when they see you after
boot camp, as I was of my son, LCpl Jon Lindsey. That
graduation was/is one of the most treasured memories I have. I
know that your parents will feel the same. Stay strong to your
convictions and you will be a strong Marine. Good luck to you
in the future and tell your folks that they are about to enter a
very loving and large family!

Sgt Grit, please inform your readers that The Iraq Star
Foundation, has removed shrapnel, injected fillers into concave
wounds, revised wound and burn scars, repaired and replaced
teeth, provided full-face laser for sand-blast shrapnel,
injected steroids for burn scars, and even removed tattoos.
Whatever the complaint, they have addressed it. There is never
any cost to our troops. Iraq Star provides transportation,
hotel accommodations, food, medical supplies, anesthesia,
operating rooms, etc. They will even send a love one with the
wounded to any surgeries scheduled.
My name is Susie Stiver and I am a "Proud Marine Mom" of a twice
deployed Iraq combat vet. Please let me know if this is a
letter that you can print...and if I can supply you with a
forwarding address, or a website, for any referrals. I became
involved with the Iraq Star Foundation simply because I am a
Marine Mom. Maggie Lockridge, the President and Founder of the
organization recognizes that "word of mouth" may be a very big
factor in locating appropriate candidates for their services. I
encourage you to visit www.iraqstar.org.
I look forward to hearing from you or one of your staff
regarding this letter, and the possibility of printing it; or if
you would have another suggestion to help us share this
important information with our Marine branch of the military.
Thank you so much,
Susie Stiver

I finally realized that your site is the perfect place to Pass
on to EVERY Marine and EVERY Marine family.
I remember the "greetings" I got when I came home from Viet Nam.
I swore then that I would pass on my thanks to every Veteran and
especially my Marines and their Families.
Thank you all for your service, and maybe most of all "those who
wait at home". The older vets from Korea and World War II are
disappearing very quickly, so we need to pass the thanks to as
many of them as possible.

Very important that you listen to the very end! Eerie!

How would he have known that this is what is now happening?

SGT. GRIT, Maybe you or some of the readers of the Newsletter
can help me. I would like to know if anyone remembers that
happen in 1958. At that time I was in Field Music School at
Parris Island. That's when we got the news that some one in the
government got the bright idea of doing away with the Marine
Corps! And having all Marines transferred as Sailors to the
Navy. I can remember the guys and I being quite upset over it.
Any ways nothing became of it. It could have been just some
scuttlebutt! Those instructors were always messing with our
mind.

Sgt. Grit:
I don't have any stories. I am only a Marine wife. What I wanted
to say was Thank You. Thank you to all of the men and women
serving. Thank you for everything you do. I know what it is like
to be left at home while your Marine goes off and saves the
world, so I would also like to say thank you to all the wives
and husbands. Somehow people remember the parents of the SERVICE
gone but they very rarely remember there are ones left at home
who wonder if they will be able to breathe easily again, if they
will be able to go about their day and not keep their eyes, ears
and body stuck in front of the TV, or listening to every bit of
news they can get.
There are women, and men, who wait at home with no word for
weeks at a time and spend months with tear stained faces and
heavy hearts. I am in no way saying the parents don't have it
hard, and I do not want others to know what it's like to watch
the other half of your heart pack his bags; helping them anyway
you can knowing you want to fall on the ground and beg them not
to go, and at the same time being so proud that your mate can be
such a wonderful person. Driving them to the base, bus station
or airports and them kissing your children goodbye, and kissing
you goodbye and saying it wont be that long this time
sweetheart. Wanting desperately to hang on knowing it could be
the last time you ever feel his touch again, but know you have
to let him go because it is his calling and he chose to be among
the few. To be one of the proud.
Funny, I remember watching my husband walking through security
at the airport going to boot camp. I had a two year old son and
didn't know at the time I was 6 weeks pregnant. I had 3 months
of no contact, well a one min phone call and letters once a
week. It was hard and it only gets harder every time I help pack
his bags and help him get in the car. Watch him kiss our
children goodbye and pray it wont last long. Knowing in my heart
he is one of the best and he worked so very hard to get it, and
to trust that his brothers will bring him home to me safe.
Please remember the ones left at home that have to watch their
life leave, we are proud but a simple thank you or he will be ok
always helps from strangers. Again I want to say thank you
Marines. Thank you so very much for what you do. And to the
retired thank you for your service whether it ended 3 days ago
or 40 years, thank you for my freedom

Thomas Jefferson
Sgt Grit and fellow Marines,
I am still proud that I served as a Marine from 62-65, great
experiences, met some great people, and some not so great. I
think I was most proud to have met and worked with Captain
Douglas T. Jacobson on one of his tours in the H&S Battalion at
Camp Lejeune in early 64', for those of you not familiar with
Captain Jacobson, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_T._Jacobson.
My time in the Corps allowed me to graduate from Platoon 253 in
62' without being noticed very much by the DI's, that was an
accomplishment! Of course as always following PI was Camp
Geiger, what fun, then on to E-2-10 Artillery Battery at
Lejeune, where we deployed on one of the all expense paid
Mediterranean cruises, I forgot to mention that I was assigned
as a FO (Forward Observer) for a few months, then when the 1st
Sergeant found out I could type I was shanghaied into the office
as a clerk typist, 0141 I think.
From the E-2-10 I went to the H&S for awhile then went back to
Parris Island to their H&S Battalion, then back to clerical
duties at Headquarters 2nd Battalion as a Champlain's Assistant
where I worked for Navy Chaplain Paul H. Lionberger, LCDR, who
performed the wedding ceremony for my wife and I on 12/31/64.
That ceremony seemed to have worked we're still married. Upon
completion of my 3 years in July 65' I returned back to Alabama
where I eventually purchased from my father the house I grew up
in and where I live currently. We have one son, a Senior Chief
currently stationed in Bahrain w/5th Fleet Headquarters and 3
wonderful grandkids.

"Friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the
sunshine of life."

I get your emails often and experience a great deal of pride and
sometimes remorse. There are so many stories from so many
years, it is unimaginable to receive all and extract those
experiences.
The email I am forwarding to you is not new, and I imagine that
you receive many similar to this (I have received this one many
times), but this is one of my favorites.
Something I wanted to say about the Corps that I find disturbing
regarding Viet Nam vets and their "combat" issues.
I left college in '73 and met a friend that had entered the
crotch a year before, yep, he and I were both 90-day wonders, he
then proceeded to recruit me. It seemed kinda crazy at the
time, but what the h&ll, I am a crazy Irishman.
I did my hitch and only experienced a "float"; the Corps was
good to me. I excelled in the environment, but my successes
were team efforts, nothing more. With the help of my Marines in
different commands, "we" received several unit citations and I
was fortunate enough to receive more than one personal
commendations, but my Marines were just as large apart of this
as well!
My friend and I had no idea what was ahead of us regarding Viet
Nam or anything else we could expect. Jimmy Carter had become
the president before my hitch was up and he was truly
INCOMPETENT.
I will get to my reason for writing. I have a service-connected
disability from my different commands in the Corps. I was a
tank officer and a damn good one, but I was not limited to just
one billet. To list these disabilities would serve no purpose;
however, they are now and have been very debilitating. Upon
going to our local VA hosp. I have experienced in my "group"
sessions with many different vets a disdain for anyone that I
did not go the "Nam" or experience combat during any time in
their hitch. Even on the outside when discussing my hitch,
people change their attitude about being a non-combatant or took
a "how do know what it was like" attitude. Of course, there is
nothing worse than a liar that blows smoke up you're a$s about
"his" bullsh!t experiences or wears ribbons that they never
earned.
In my area, we have one such charlatan that is serving community
time because of his façade. Many of us, combatants or not, were
prepared to take this clown to a public square and humiliate him
24-7, but the courts intervened and he escaped the wrath of a
lot of p!ssed off veterans.
My simple statement was that I entered Corps towards the end and
awaited my fate, but "combat" never was an experience; however,
upon returning home, I became a policeman for ten years. Ten
years in a small Midwestern town where constant fighting, at
different levels were a weekly experience. I have been shot,
stabbed, and rammed in a squad car more than once. This was my
combat for 10 years. I was fortunate to receive two personal
commendations based on my own initiatives. My survival and my
flexible approach to all these scenarios came from my
experiences in my beloved Corps.
I will stop now; however, I would admonish all those Marines and
service people to be aware that the many that do not serve in
combat are prepared to sacrifice whatever it is for their
country and play a vital role in our successes. I would hope
they would be appreciative of those that are ready for
"whatever". For those that have never seen combat, but have
been there in a supportive role can share their own experiences
unique to them.
Without such people, we could not begin to wage "war" with
anyone. Just respect them and do not try to belittle them or
impress them with a make "us" feel as though our service was
trite attitude.
We did our best and we were ready!
Gunny, this is probably too lengthy to publish, but I just
wanted to express my experiences and the disappointments from my
fellow veterans.
Respectfully,

I don't know if I have ever written to your site, but can I just
say how much I love and adore your site!?!?? No one in my family
EVER knows what to get my uncle for his b-day's and x-mas, that
is, everyone but me that is. A few years ago I stumbled across
your site (this is when Google was just getting big) and I find
that I can't shop anywhere else now. You have so much stuff and
it actually changes to the point that I don't even look for a
present for my uncle, I just wait for your catalogs to come in
and circle away. I listen to him throughout the year when he
gripes about what he does and doesn't like about certain apparel
and what he wishes he had and I go on your site and boom, you
always have everything! I have never served, but the fact that
my uncle, Sgt. Uncle, did in the 1st 2nd Mar Div and tells me
all his stories, I just go on your site and pick to my hearts
desire and he has never complained about anything, a serious
feat for MY uncle.
I mean, you all have not just the generic "I love America" type
Marine stuff, you have all of the ignorant sayings he loves to
quote too on your products! Now that is a quality store! He
really likes the Navy, Army, Airforce supplied black t-shirt to
tell the story of the Eagle Globe and Anchor. He wears all the
shirts I buy from your store every time I see him, to the point
of where I may have to buy more from you, b/c they are becoming
faded and unreadable from over washing. Mind you, my uncle is
about 44 years old wearing these. I love Sgt. Grit, you
definitely have a lifetime customer here! I really like the pics
of the employees and their families that serve as models for the
catalog, it adds a real personal touch to the store. I look
forward to seeing how big your group pic for the catalog gets.
When you stopped selling the Guinness/Jack Daniel's inspired t-
shirts the ONE season I was going to buy them from the catalog
for my uncle, when I called your customer support for the first
time, the operator was very humorous and explained to me why the
shirts couldn't be sold. I don't know who trains your customer
service reps, but they do an excellent job. I've never had a
problem when I couldn't find an item on a site or I wanted to
know some random detail that wasn't shown in the pic, they have
always politely answered every question I've had.
My uncle served in the late 80s and through the 1st Gulf War
before he got out, but he was an arrogant/cocky SOB before
enlisting----just a bigger one now that he served the Marine's
brotherhood. He even bakes a cake every November and sings happy
birthday and the Marine theme song on the Marine's B-day like
it's a party for a REAL person, now that is determination. I
just bought him from your site the black plastic cups 10 pack to
match the red 10 pack I bought him a few years ago, b/c he only
keeps 2 cups out at a time, like he wants to preserve them as
best he can, I still think to this day he has only ever used two
of the ten pack---- I love it. A few years ago I bought him the
customized car floor mats with his name on it and he has gone
ape s*** ever since, threatening anyone who gets in his car to
NOT get the floor mats dirty! WTF?!?!? His head almost exploded
in excitement when he saw it for XMAS a few years ago. He was
going on and on about how it looks just like the mats at the
Embassies---I wouldn't know, I've never been to one.
I think what he likes best of all is the Cherry Wood Sword
holder plaque that I bought him. He has been saying for years
that he wants to display his sword from when he was enlisted,
but that the stands were way too expensive. I didn't even think
2x about where I would buy him one for, eventually. The stand
was very pricey, so I passed on it when receiving it in 2
catalogs, but then I thought about the quality products I've
always received from Sgt. Grit and bit the bullet and paid for
the more expensive Cherry Wood (that you all said, years ago,
was "limited"---but it's still in all the catalogs I have
seen!). I even paid for an inscription on it b/c I value the
quality of your site and products so much. I don't normally
spend as much in one place as I do on your site, but your
shipping is ridiculously low for what it should be and to top
that, unless I'm getting something inscribed, like I am with my
current order for my uncle, if I order on Monday, I have it by
Friday, with normal shipping price/rate-------I LOVE YOU! Thank
you for having such a great store with a great variety. I don't
know where I would get my uncle's gifts from without you, and I
hope I never will have to ask!
Keep up the great work, I can't wait to order from you in
December for his X-Mas gifts!

"When World War II ended, the United States had the only
undamaged industrial power in the world. Our military might was
at its peak, and we alone had the ultimate weapon, the nuclear
weapon, with the unquestioned ability to deliver it anywhere in
the world. If we had sought world domination then, who could
have opposed us? But the United States followed a different
course, one unique in all the history of mankind. We used our
power and wealth to rebuild the war-ravished economies of the
world, including those of the nations who had been our enemies.
May I say, there is absolutely no substance to charges that the
United States is guilty of imperialism or attempts to impose its
will on other countries, by use of force."
