Sobre IBD

The Marine Corps’ motto 'Semper Fidelis' still echoes through my head after all of these years. It’s the Latin phrase for 'always faithful', and totally appropriate to the lifelong brotherhood that is the United States Marine Corps. It was just over fifty-eight years ago that Semper Fi and all things Marine were etched permanently into my being, my character, and my memory. And when my DI’s singsong cadence isn’t bouncing around in my brain, my bedroom is shaking with the roar of F-8U Crusaders screaming overhead. I’m still at El Toro. I’m still a Marine. I’ll always be a Marine.
