This hat is a prized piece for any collection....especially for the Veteran  or Love One, who has served or is still serving with pride, in the  Corps!  Order extras for friends & family to show your appreciation for your love one's service to our country!

Hats fuel for me a passion for Marine Corps history connected to their  distinguished heritage. These hats tie us back to our history, to the people who came before us, to  all of the giants and to all of the little people ... who make the Corps work day-to-day. That's really what  these hats represents.  It's about the US Marines...from the Private to the Four Star General, it is the  only service where everyone is called "A Marine"..... it's about people  & their airplanes/equipment that make the Corps what it is!

A LETTER FROM BOOT CAMP....

 
Dear Ma and Pa,

I am well. Hope you are. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the Marine  Corps beats working for old man Minch by a mile. Tell them to join up  quick before all of the places are filled.



I was restless at first because you got to stay in bed till nearly 6 a.m. but I am getting so I like to sleep late. Tell Walt and Elmer all you  do before breakfast is smooth your cot, and shine some things. No hogs  to slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay.  Practically nothing.

We all have to shave but it is not so bad, there's warm water & no out house!
 
Breakfast is strong on trimmings like fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon,  fruit,etc., but kind of weak on chops, potatoes, ham, steak, fried  eggplant, pie and other regular food. Tell Walt and Elmer you can always sit by the two city boys that live on  coffee. Their food plus yours holds you until noon when you get fed  again. It's no wonder these city boys can't walk much.

We go on  "route marches," which the platoon sergeant says are long walks to  harden us. If he thinks so, it's not my place to tell him different. A  "route march" is about as far as to our mailbox at home. Then the city  guys get sore feet and we all ride back in trucks.

The country  is nice but awful flat. The sergeant is like a school teacher. He nags a lot. The Captain is like the school board. Majors and colonels just  ride around and frown. They don't bother you none.



This next one will kill Walt and Elmer with laughter... I keep getting  medals for shooting & I don't know why. The bulls-eye is near as big as a chipmunk's head and don't move, and it ain't shooting at you like  the Higgett boys at home. All you got to do is lie there all comfortable and hit it. You don't even load your own cartridges. They come in  boxes.

Then we have what they call hand-to-hand combat training. You get to wrestle with them city boys. I have to be real careful though, they break real  easy. It ain't like fighting with that ole bull at home. I'm about the  best they got in this except for that Tug Jordan from over in Silver  Lake. I only beat him once. He joined up the same time as me, but I'm  only 5'6" and 130 pounds and he's 6'8" and near 300 pounds dry.


Be sure to tell Walt and Elmer to hurry and join before other fellers get onto this setup and come stampeding in.

Your loving daughter, Stephanie Marie

A FEW GREAT COMMENTS FROM A FEW OF THE FINEST!

I thought that hat looked good on the web it is awesome, thanks man!!! I have been retired almost 16 years and am always looking for quality  Navy stuff because I'm proud of my service and proud of the Navy.  You represent everything that is good about shopping with other veterans.  Service was prompt the hat is excellent it arrived in perfect condition & the sticker & business card was a totally unexpected  treat.  I will be a multiple repeat customer & I will turn my buddies onto your  e-bay store.  I regret you only get 80 characters to leave feedback on ebay.  I did my best there for you!  You deserve it!  Tanks Again  Brother.  Norm Copeland FTCS/SS USN RET.

point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.'

That is honor and there are way too many people in this country today, who no longer understand this...to those who do....Semper Fi

Cemetery Escort Duty 

WARNING....DO NOT READ.....YOUR MONITOR WILL  TEAR UP!

I  just wanted to get the day over with and go down to Smokey's. Sneaking a look at my watch, I saw the time, 1655. Five minutes to go before the  cemetery gates are closed for the day. Full dress was hot  in the August sun.  Oklahoma summertime was as bad
as ever--the heat  and humidity at the same level--both too high. 

I  saw the car pull into the drive, '69 or '70 model Cadillac Deville, looked factory-new. It pulled into the parking lot at a snail's pace.  An old woman got out so slow I thought she was paralyzed; she had a cane and a sheaf of flowers--about four or five bunches as best I could  tell. 

I  couldn't help myself. The thought came unwanted, and left a slightly  bitter taste: 'She's going to spend an hour, and for this old Marine, my hip hurts like hell and I'm ready to get out of here right now!' But  for this day, my duty was to assist anyone coming in. 

Kevin would lock the 'In' gate and if I could hurry the old biddy  along, we might make it to Smokey's in time. 


I  broke post attention. My hip made gritty noises when I took the first  step
and the pain went up a notch.  I must have made a real military sight:  middle-aged man with a small pot gut and half a limp, in Marine  full-dress uniform, which had lost its razor crease about thirty minutes after I began the watch at the cemetery. 

I  stopped in front of her, halfway up the walk. She looked up at me with  an old woman's squint.

'Ma'am,may I assist you in any way?

She took long enough to answer. 

'Yes, son. Can you carry these flowers? I seem to be moving a tad slow these  days.'

'My pleasure, ma'am.'
Well, it wasn't too much of a lie. 

She looked again. 'Marine, where were you stationed?

Vietnam, ma'am. Ground-pounder. '69 to '71.

She looked at me closer. 'Wounded in action, I  see. Well done, Marine. I'll be as quick as I can.

I  lied a little bigger: 'No hurry, ma'am.' 

She smiled and winked at me. 'Son, I'm 85-years-old and I can tell a lie from a long way off. Let's get  this done. Might be the last time I can do this. My name's Joanne  Wieserman, and I've a few Marines I'd like to see one more time.

'Yes, ma 'am. At your service.'


She headed for the World War I section, stopping at a stone. She picked one of the flowers out of my  arm and laid it on top of the stone. She murmured something I couldn't  quite make out. The name on the marble was Donald S.  Davidson, USMC: France 1918

She turned away and made a straight line for the World
War II
section, stopping at one stone. I saw a tear slowly tracking
its way down her cheek. She put a bunch on a stone; the name was 
Stephen  X.Davidson, USMC, 1943



She went up the row a ways and laid another bunch on a stone, Stanley
J. Wieserman, USMC, 1944


She paused for a second. 'Two more, son, and we'll be done

I  almost didn't say anything, but, 'Yes, ma'am. Take your time.' 

She looked confused. 'Where's the Vietnam section, son? I seem to have lost my way.


I  pointed with my chin. 'That way, ma'am.' 

'Oh!' she chuckled quietly. 'Son, me and old age ain't too  friendly.

She headed down the walk I'd pointed at. She stopped at a couple of stones  before she found the ones she wanted. She placed a bunch on Larry  Wieserman, USMC, 1968,
and the last on 
Darrel  Wieserman, USMC, 1970.
She stood there and murmured a few words I  still couldn't make out. 

'OK, son, I'm finished. Get me back to my car and you can go home.

Yes, ma'am. If I may ask, were those your kinfolk?

She paused. 'Yes, Donald  Davidson
was my  father, 
Stephen
was my uncle, 
Stanley
was my husband, 
Larry
and 
Darrel
were our sons. All killed in action,  all Marines.
'

She stopped. Whether she had finished, or couldn't finish, I don't know.  She made her way to her car, slowly and painfully. 


I  waited for a polite distance to come between us and then double-timed it over to Kevin, waiting by the car. 

'Get to the 'Out' gate quick. I have something I've got to do.

Kevin started to say something, but saw the look I gave him. He broke the  rules to get us there down the service road. We beat her. She hadn't  made it around the rotunda yet.


'Kevin, stand at attention next to the gatepost.  Follow my lead.'
I  humped it across the drive to the other post. 


When the Cadillac came puttering around from the hedges and began the short  straight traverse to the gate, I called in my best Gunny's voice: 'TehenHut! Present Haaaarms!' 

I  have to hand it to Kevin; he never blinked an eye--full dress uniform  standing at attention
and a salute that would make his DI proud.


She drove through that gate with two old worn-out Marines giving her a  send-off she deserved, for service rendered to her country, and for  knowing duty, honor and sacrifice. 

I  am not sure, but I think I saw a salute returned from that Cadillac.

Instead of 'The End,'...just think of 'Taps.


As a final thought on my part, let me share a favorite prayer: 'Lord,
keep our servicemen and women safe, whether they serve at home or overseas.
Hold them in your loving hands and  protect them as they protect us.

Let's all keep those currently serving and those who have gone before in our  thoughts. They are the reason for the many freedoms we enjoy. 

'In God We Trust.'

Sorry about your monitor; it made mine blurry too! 

"If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a  nation gone under!"

You are  required to pass this on NOW!!!

Every now and then, in the middle of the  constant barrage of trash that’s just lighting us all up these days, we come  across a story, a feat, an event that just makes us stop in our tracks.


This was one for me....

Cody Green was a 12-year kid in Indiana who was  diagnosed with leukemia at 22 months old. He loved the Marines, and his parents  said he drew strength and courage from the Marine Corps. as ...he bravely fought  the battle into remission three times. Although he was cancer-free at the time,  the chemotherapy had lowered his immune system and he developed a fungus  infection that attacked his brain.



Two weeks ago, as he struggled to fend off  that infection in the hospital, the Marines wanted to show how much they  respected his will to live, his strength, honor and courage. They presented Cody  with Marine navigator wings and named him an honorary member of the United  States Marine Corps.



For one Marine, that wasn’t enough ... so that night,  before Cody Green passed away, he took it upon himself to stand guard at Cody’s  hospital door all night long, eight hours straight.

Nowhere on the face of this planet is there a  country so blessed as we to have men and women such as this. I wish I could  personally tell this Marine how proud he makes me to be a MARINE!

God... I  do so love this country.
