Tour With the United States Marines

"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference, and our Marines don't have that problem." - President Ronald Reagan, 1985 ------- There are only two kinds of people that understand Marines: Marines and the enemy. Everyone else has a second-hand opinion. Gen. William Thornson, U.S. Army

On The Beach


Once ashore you could play in one huge sand box. You had to dig holes which got sand into everything. When someone wants to do you bodily harm on a beach, no one has to tell you to dig in even if you are on solid concrete. I think this picture was taken when we were boarding the Higgins Boats to go back to the ship.
