Seems like yesterday we were standing together on those yellow footprints at MCRD San Diego preparing to forge our armor of Marines. Now the truth can be told regarding "Operation Palm Tree" in front of the chow hall. Your service to this nation live on in your family and friends. I'll see you on the other side, Mike. Semper Fi brother!
