Thinking of you old friend and everything you did for me and my guys. You never gave up on them or me. You taught me priceless life lessons that I cherish to this day. Many basic but time tested that every man should know. The foundation for character building. You were ahead of your time and one of a kind. Semper Fi , Marine.
