I thought while discussing world events I can introduce to you a young kid from Jersey.  He joined the United States Marines at the tender age of 18 and never looked back.  I look at his kid and wonder what became of him.  He is in my memories, but the things I did back in the day is as if it was someone else.  I was young, maybe niave, but proud to serve my country!  Maybe as this blog continues I can share some marine stories with you...Many are very funny as others are quite sad....I guess that is what life is all about.
