Bio 

Retired My Grandfather was one of the first "Devil Dogs" in WW I. My Great Uncle fought in Korea "The Chosen Frozen." My Dad was a Marine for 22 Years, toured in Vietnam. All of them were Marines. I joined the Army and my Dad asked why "Dad I have seen everywhere the Marines are stationed. I want to see something different" His reply "Good enough for me."
