from my FB post:

"But always remember this: Marines die. That's what we're here for. But the Marine Corps lives forever, and that means you live forever." - R. Lee Ermey.
Semper Fi.
Fair winds and following seas, Gunny. You were all my DI's rolled into one and inspired me as an NCO

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

He is now the Sergent of the Guard manning the Pearly Gates. Don't even try to get thin there if you don't belong with Gunny Ermey as Guard Force Commander.
