ARTILLERY FOR 20--YEARS ASA MARINE THAT WAS THE MARINE CORPS LIFE FOR ME:
WE CONSTANTLY TRAINED FOR WAR, TO ENSURE AMERICA STAYS FREE:
MANY SACRIFICES I HAD TO MAKE IN A TWENTY YEAR CAREER:
AROUND THE WORLD I TRAVELED TRAINING FOR WAR ON MANY DISTANT SHORES, AND I WAS NOT ALWAYS WITH MY FAMILY NEAR:
FROM A SECTION CHIEF TO PLATOON SERGEANT TO THE BATTERY GUNNY I DID PROGRESS:
WITH MY LEADERSHIP AS A MARINE I DID MY BEST:
THE MARINE CORPS LIFE WAS EXTREME--REVILLE AT ZERO FIVE AND TAPS AT TEN PM:
MY LIFE AS A MARINE WAS VERY EXTREME WAY BACK THEN:
EIGHT CHILDREN WERE RAISED AND WE HAD TO RELOCATE MANY A TIME, I DID MY BEST AS A DAD TO KEEP THEM ALL IN LINE:
WE TRAINED ABROAD AND EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN:
RAISED ALL THESE KIDS WHEN I WAS A LEAN GREEN FIGHTING MACHINE:
MANY DAYS WEEKS AND MONTHS I WAS IN TRAINING SO FAR AWAY:
FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY I ALWAYS DID PRAY:
WE ALL SURVIVED TOGETHER AND MADE IT TO THE END:
IM THINKING OF MY TWENTY YEAR MARINE CORPS CAREER WAY BACK THEN:
THERE WAS ALOT OF PRESSURE AND IT WAS NOT AN EASY WAY OF LIFE,YOU HAD TO ALWAYS BE READY AND STAND BY TO STAND BY AND AT MOMENTS NOTICE BE READY TO GO:
THAT WAS THE LIFE IN ARTILLERY AS A UNITED STATED MARINE YOU KNOW:
DAYS WEEKS AND MONTHS I SPENT TRAINING IN ARTILLERY SO SO FAR AWAY:
I WROTE HOME EVERY SINGLE DAY AND PRAYED ALWAYS THAT MY FAMILY WAS OKAY:
