I will join those who stated a great respect for Marines. My sister's husband was a Navy Corpsman with the 3rd. Marine Division. He fught, as an infantry Marine, on Bouganville, Guam and Iwo Jima. At Bouganville, they found training charts the Japanese had, depicting the Corpsmen as prime targets. It was then they threw away their Red Cross identifications and picke up a rifle. He was fortunate enough to get an M-1 Rifle.
My nephew was a Marine in Viet Nam. He was at Khe Sanh. During the fighting there one night, a sapper ran into an ammo dump for the 175mm guns and detonated his charges. His head and shoulder landed next to my nephew.
