Such as Regiments Hand Down Forever.

The first part of this video I recall seeing in Officer Candidate School in 1981. "...They were the Leathernecks, the old breed of American regular, with a bone deep sunburn and a tolerant scorn of nearly everything on Earth."

Ten November.

Sign me up.

It hasn't changed much.

That is a look that crosses gender with no problem.  Senior Drill Instructor Sergeant Cambridge is not happy. The butt plate of that rifle is filthy.

Nothing says "I care," like an AK-47.

Out in the Delta Corridor in 1982.

Working with Tennessee Air Guard Blackhawks in 1990.

Northern Training Area, Okinawa, Japan, 1983.

"Request Marines."

 

This is what Regiments hand down forever.  This fight set the tone for the Marine Corps for the next 100 years.

This is my father, Herbert H. Miller.  He was in the Marine Corps on June 6, 1918 but he arrived in France a few months after the fight at Belleau Wood.  He came to my graduation at Parris Island 55 years after he graduated.

Sergeant Daniel Amaya was killed in action in Iraq on April 11, 2004.

 

"It is incredibly hard to believe it has been 9 whole years since we lost this great man. I think about you all the time. So much has changed in 9 years. I can't help but find myself wondering where you'd be living, what your hair would be like, what funny thing you'd say or do next. I miss you terribly and wish you were still here with us. I still take out letters we wrote and laugh at your slanted hand writing! I'll never forget in 8th grade history class with Mrs. Loveless, you were writing on the board and you had no clue you were erasing every bit of it as you went along because you're a lefty. Your face was priceless!! The whole class got a kick out of you, as did everyone who knew you, I'm sure. :) You never had one enemy. And when the path you chose gave you one, they took you from us. I'm bitter from the irony of it all but I have had to let it go because I know you were doing what you loved and what you always talked about doing. You're a hero. Our special hero. On this Memorial Day, I say, love you. Miss you. Thank you.
