Default Devil Dogs?

Not a ZR-1 Tech thread, but directed solely at the Z kids.

How many brother Marines do I have here????

Just started to notice what looked like a few in the last handful of threads.

All Devil Dogs give a Semper Fidelis/Oooh Rah

Don't mean to but in on your post, I never served....but noticed many of you served during my dad's era. He was in the 9th marines 3rd division in Viet Nam from August of 65-66.

Grandfather served in WWII, and many uncles and cousins served in peacetime.
