heart touching
I have two sons, both served, oldest one did 5 years in the Navy, youngest did 4 years as a Marine. The differnece in the brotherhood the two units share is amazing. My Navy son really never got very close to any buddies, maybe one or two, but the Marine son has a whole family. I have had the opportunity to meet some of his fellow Marines and I am 100 percent convinced that the tightness of the Marines is such that I feel that any fellow Marine could put out a signal for help anywhere and there would be a mutitude of brother Marines at his side in an instant. They have got to be the most tight knot group of fighting men I have ever seen. Please, don't get me wrong, I respect every person in the military, regardless of branch, but just from what I have witnessed, the Marines have got to be the tightest. Just a byline, the oldest son was in the Navy as I said for 5 years and never set foot on a ship (Naval Intel Sailor) while his brother served 4 years as a Marine, spent 7 months on the USS Enterprise in the middle east then volunteered for a 6 month hitch on land in Iraq. I am very proud of both my sones and equally proud of ALL the sons and daughters that do what they do, stand in harms way for our freedom. God Bless Them All and I wish them all a safe return. Thank you!!
