always faithful

Always wanted to be a Marine, at the age of 11 I received new that my 20 year old cousin was killed in Vietnam.
Although I was just a little boy I understood that something was going on with my country that forced the older teenagers on my block to enter the military. Some of them were also killed in action. Needless to say my first funeral was that of a united states marine . There is indeed something special about marines "the presidents own"
