My Minnesota my Boyhood HomeLAND:
where I Grew up as a Minnesota BOY, and Became a MAN:


I had no Vision to go to Like All my High-School-Best-Friends-and -to--More-School, as to me ---TO--BECOME a UNITED STATE MARINE:
the Best the Greatest and the Few the PROUD THE MARINES, was my BoyHOOD-------------------------------DREAM:


In the Year ---Nineteen--Seventy--Five:
On--August-Nineteenth, on my ---NINETEENTH, BIRTHDAY---I, was in  Boot Camp  at    Marine Corps Depot.   San Diego.  , and    my   First day.   In    Boot Camp    To    Become    a    United States MARINE----------My DREAM---------Became    true    and----------ALIVE:


As a         United States MARINE.       For--- TwentyYEARS,--- I --SERVED, in every  Clime and Place---WorldWIDE:
As a.        United States MARINE,       For--- TwentyYEARS,--- To --- Be a MARINE, Was My DREAM, and --I Felt Great HONOR, and Deep--PRIDE


The United States MARINE CORPS, The Greatest Fighting FORCE, this WORLD has ever Known or SEEN:
The MARINES Stand Ready to Fight  with Great Honor Duty and Might, side by side with Duty and PRIDE, the MARINES---SEMPER-FIDELIS, and         Always Faithful         to the       END,       the   MARINES,   One For ALL,   and    ALL FOR ONE,    Physically FIT,    Lean   Green   and   MEAN:


Once a --------MARINE--------ALWAYS--------A--------MARINE:
i am   PROUD   To BE   A        United States MARINE,        from   My   BoyHOOD   HOME SWEET HOME,   In--WINONA --MINNESOTA---and---To BE a United States MARINE,   The Few the PROUD,   Became     My----Life---Living---and---Loving--------------------------DREAM:
