Remembering the Brave

[TB Roye]

This was sent to me in an Email from a retired Calif. Highway Patrol Sgt. It is at the Marine Corps Museum in Florida. Very emotional

I'm confused. The National Museum of the Marine Corps (photo of the entrance is shown in the clip) is at Quantico in Virginia. Florida has the Museum of Naval Aviation (at Pensacola NAS), and there is a considerable Marine presence there, but mostly aviation-related.

Sorry, Not enough coffee before I posted it. Geography wasn't my best subject in school. My apologies to all the Marine members of BT3 Central.

No sweat, Tom... Just needed my confusion cleared up (and I've got plenty of that... ). The Marines will have no trouble seeing your level of respect.

Ooh raah!!

Thanks TB! It is very moving to see the family of fallen Marines.

As an enlisted Jarhead, fellow Marines and I spent lots of time together in very close quarters...squad bays and barracks. I knew most of their families and they knew mine...especially after a trip to the pay-phone. We mostly talked to each other because phone calls were expensive and thus infrequent. In hindsight, it was the best of times.
