Once a Marine Always a Marine

 Have you ever heard the phrase "Once a Marine always a Marine? Well today I am going to share an article of an awesome display of selflessness and devotion to duty by a Marine Corps Veteran whom I happen to know. For all you selfish ass people selflessness is when you put the needs of others before your own without even thinking. 

 So yesterday someone tagged me on a photo on Facebook and my phone was dinging all day. I hadn't been in front of the computer to really look at what I was tagged in. I saw it was an article and the person in the picture was a Marine Corps Veteran Gunnery Sergeant who helped me get into the Marine Corps. Yup for those who do not know the Popcorn Popper is a Marine Veteran. But I digress.

Today when I finally got a chance to sit in front of the computer I read the article.  I was in complete awe. So I have to share this article with my readers. This is what being a Marine is about. Selflessness and devotion to duty. This Gunny showed the true meaning of Honor, Courage, and Commitment. Who said you have to wear a Marine Corps Uniform to be considered a Marine? I'm guessing someone who didn't make the cut.
