I just got, off the phone as I just finished talking to an--- OLD-- MARINE---CORPS----friend
im ---sixty-one-----and,- he -is -----eighty-four-----and, ----RETIRED, ----after thirty, distinguished--years -----in-----the-----MARINE--CORPS-----and----is----a----CHAMPION----and----a-----M-A-R-I-N-E----LEGEND


His, thirty years in the CORP
he has been in every clime and place, around this globe, and , been in harms way on every--distant--SHORE


This--MARINE--HERO---highly---DECORATED--, for --BRAVERY, --and --VALOR------GALORE
is the --kindest--, gentlest--, loving--, good --human --being--, so --loving --sincere,---humble--thoughtful--, wise --and --the ---best -BEST-best-----friend -a -person -could --ever--have-- and----so--much---MORE


He called me to wish me a HAPPY-MARINE-CORPS--BIRTHDAY
and was telling me another story--how--the--LEGEND--MARINE----GENERAL---CHESTY-PULLER---pinned on his buck sergeant stripes and promoted him, way back in 1952----and--he--always amazes me and impresses me --with, his every,life, story--in every WAY


We met at the ---24/7--gym ---in San-Diego--about--FOUR---years--AGO
and, I'm very proud to call this outstanding --RETIRED--SERGEANT---MAJOR----my, greet-- FRIEND----for----SURE


 Good friends are hard to come by, for--SURE
but I know the true ---BROTHERHOOD--, of ---the--BOND----of--a-------MARINE-FRIEND---, will-----FOREVER-forever-FOREVER-------SEMPER--FI--------anyways-ALWAYS-always------ENDURE
