Thanks to every one of you for your service. In the fire service, we are littered with prior service. Something about serving and protecting that's in our blood I guess.

And since someone had the nice joke earlier, this pic says it all ;) LOL

I finally got down to the Marine Corps Museum last summer. Thought it was awesome. Also took my son, 13 at the time who has Asperger's, so I wasn't sure if he was going to be bored or not. he was engaged the whole time, asking questions and said that he loved it at the end.

They actually have it very well laid out, with some really interactive displays. . . . . . I think they are currently closed for renovations at the moment.
