A keen edged sword, a soldiers heart Is greater than a poet's art And greater than a poet's fame A little grave that has no name --- Francis Ledwidge DSK: Iraq, Afg, and many other places untidy. Ground Branch-XYZ agency. Ground Branch - very cool. And I like the Ledwidge poem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poem: excerpt fr his short work, Soliloquy. I read...the room gets dusty. GB: best part=much better non-mission living conditions than real heroes (infantry, grunts). Worst part=always in civies--western/otherwise--instead of cool uniforms that attract the chicks! Also: remiss in forgetting to give an ooh-rah for USMC birthday. Semper Fi. Combining above...in tribute to friend, USMC Ltc LM. Miss you brother. He's the bad ass in the middle; I'm the stocky punk on the left. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow brother: a field corpsman, MEF capable, active (I believe that's the squid rating?!)... straight up badass. Wish you the best: stay safe my friend.

That made me laugh, I joined the army, airborne school guarantee. 71Q, photo journalist. Get sent to the 82nd and never left the country, I wouldn't even qualify as a REMF. Get out, eventually joined the Coast Guard and got Expeditionary Medals for Haiti and Iraq. Go figure.
