No such thing as a “former marine”. Once a marine ALWAYS a marine.

"Some of you may die., but the marine corps will live forever. So you will also live forever!"

My son worshiped this man when he was 14 . When he came to a car show in Baltimore people surrounded him and told my son he will not get his vhs copy of FMJ signed because he had hair down to his waist . Well not only did he greet my son kindly he would only sign my sons vhs and ignored the people with the DVD copies . He was a great man .

He is also the only Marine every promoted post enlistment. He was medically retired as a Staff Seargent/E6. But was later promoted to the rank of Gunnery Seargent/E7 for his dedication to the Corps and all service members. Ooh Rah!

I hope he doesn't ask God to see his war face!

Correction* He’s not a “former” Marine, he IS a Marine. No matter what you do in life after the Marine Corps, you’ll always be a marine through and through.

Good-bye Gunny. Into the hallowed ground of Arlington National Cemetery. Always a proud Marine.

This old Corpsman will miss the "Gunny" till I see him at the top.

"THE WAY I SEE IT LADIES!!! YOU OWE ME FOR ONE JELLY DONUT!!!" turns to pyle "THEY'RE PAYING FOR IT, YOU EAT IT!!!"

The first banner is wrong. A Marine is a Marine for life. There are no "former" Marines. Only those who are not longer on active duty.

Semper Fi gunny. I bet you and Chesty are playing cards right now.
