Two years has past since your passing, it was at this time that you last spoke to me.
Angel Marie will be 2 years old come January 2006.
How time goes by so fast.
My marriage has come to end because Lupe wanted it to end.
We're now 65...are we any wiser than when you and I would walk hand in hand down Main Street, in the Harbor?
We're so much in love than...sad you call it to an end because I had enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, without letting you know.
Many a day, you come into my mind, just like you did while I was in Vietnam...
May God grant you eternal peace, my dear
"Pirate"...

"Excellence doesn't just happen.
"To control the past,
"They were the best you had, America,
and you turned your back on them". ~ Joe Galloway ~ Speaking about Vietnam Veterans HONOUR THY SERGEANT AND THY CORPORAL:
You can take the man or woman out of the Corps,
You can never do more,
you should never wish to do less."
~ Robert E. Lee writing to his son ~
It must be forged, tested and used.
It must be passed down.
And woven into the very fabric of our souls.
Until it becomes our nature."
~ General Charles C. Krulak ~
31st Commandment of the Marine Corps
Is to give meaning to the present,
And direction to the future."
THAT THY DAYS MANY BE LONG UPON THE CORPS
But you can't take the Corps out of the man or woman!
