Today I met Dave, a Marine Corps League member with the kindest eyes and nicest smile. He’s visiting from AZ with two of his league members, two men who were 92 and 96 years old, both still driving to make all meetings. The 96 year old retired from USMC after 36 years of service, he fought in WW2, Korea and Vietnam. Dave gave me a wonderful gold challenge coin with USMC and the EGA on one side and the other a verse from Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

My cousin Josh started bootcamp this week in Parris Island, I know Dave gave me this coin to pass along to him.
