jseal---My uncle(in Conn)is a retired Marine Officer(actually,there
is no such thing as a retired Marine)Luckily,even in his '80s,he lived ,long enough,to see the new memorial. Irish
P.S. those guys never admit to getting older.My cousin(his daughter)e-mailed me last year,that he was mad because he was
tired,carrying a 50lb bag of fertiliser)in from the car.He said "I used to carry two ammunition cans up a hill & not get tired."She
said "Dad,you're in your 80s now!"He was brought up,to never
admit defeat!
