Our Marine Brotherhood

Though it’s been thirty years that I retired as a Marine I found my Platoon 3331 year book, secondly it’s been fifty years come September that I as you and counts of thousands after us arrived to challenge our body, mind and spirit and to having it broken down so that we could be taught courage, poise, self-confidence and pride of belonging to the worlds finest by earning the title Marine that no one can take from us. These words written at the side entrance to the Receiving Barracks do represent our fighting spirit as a Team and Our Marine Brotherhood.

We the Marines along side our Family of Veterans are the back bone of our country . I have always believed that if we were invaded we would be the 2nd front , pride in our Corps would see us to victory Ooorah Semper Fidelis.

Wow ! What memories. July 2nd, 1953. San Diego. Still as proud now as I was on graduation. Scared to death, but I would do it again in a heart beat. A snot nosed kid who thought he knew everything and thought he could whip the world. Semper Fi, Marines.

There are two “Semper Fi” bumper stickers in the pockets of our car doors. Each time we pass a vehicle displaying a Marine sticker or license plate, we hold up the Semper Fi sticker and honk. We have never failed to receive a return honk, a smile, and/or a thumbs up. Once a Marine, always a Marine! Proud Jarhead

I put my feet on the yellow footprints at Parris Island in August 1968 and left a Marine in October 1968. Semper Fi – Forever and a day. Jim
