The other day, I found the notice of your death and on reading it.
I found that your body was cremated.
My memory of us walking hand in hand, so many years ago, will have to last till we meet again.

" Duty is the most sublime word in the English language.
"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!
