I know I jumped into ABC Wednesday right in the middle of things, but what the heck! This week we are on the letter 'M"

"M" is for Marines and Marine Corps!

My son graduated from Parris Island this past September so we drove up and met my parents as well as my brother and his family. My father was also in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam years. He was in Vietnam when I was born.

It was pretty interesting being able to wander around the island and check out the huge amount of history and stories that are there. While I'm sure my son never wants to go back he will always appreciate the place and it's history. For my father, this was the first time back to Parris Island in forty years. What was interesting is that they were in the same barracks, possibly the same squad bay, only they were brand new back in the sixties.
