The raising of the
flag on Suribachi means a Marine Corps for the next 500 years." James Forrestal,
Secretary of the Navy.
Welcome to my Marine Corps Field Band Website
I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps on April 10, 1969. It was a very educational juncture in my life. All of my experiences in the Corps, be them good, bad or indifferent, were of tremendous value to me throughout my life. With the recent events of the last few years, it makes me proud, as a Marine, to be a part of that unique brotherhood and witnessing that the tradition of United States Marine Corps is still flourishing. OOOrha brothers!!

If you like grilling |

I use this grill all the time. Meat is so moist, it melts in your mouth. I wouldn't promote something to my Marine Brothers and Sisters if it wasn't true. Semper Fi!! ps: It is on sale for $19.95. A great investment to be sure. |
