My neighbor is a former Marine, tough as a keg of nails, great guy. I told him my son joined the Army to work on Blackhawk helicopters. He said "you know Army stands for "Ain't Ready for Marines Yet" and then laughed. He then followed up by telling how proud he is of my son for being part of the 1% that protects the 99%.

I am precision long range rifle trained by a Marine RECON sniper. Things I've heard make me appreciate anyone that has served in ANY branch to keep a knucklehead like me free and safe.
Thank you guys and gals for that!!!!!

Spent 20 (of my 30 years) with the Marines (west coast). Hats off to you folks who paved the way for making THE PIN finally happen.

My MS blackout tag came today for my 2024.

All proceeds go to a first responders state fund. The cost is $50 a year, I have 3 auto/truck and 2 motorcycle blackout tags. I’ve paid my part lol anything blackout has to be personalized. My first 2 selections were taken. And yes I know the expiration decal is not on it yet. I almost forgot to add that.

Finally came yesterday. As someone who grew up on classic and 80's rock, it seemed appropriate.
