You guys THESE UNIFORMS ARE ORIGINALS! Not reproductions. The historian in me was so excited! And these two Marines did their own era appropriate hair as well. I'm so darn impressed! #MarineCorpsHistory #CommandantsBall #HappyBirthdayMarines

A Legacy Honored at the National Museum of the Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt....

1992; Lima Company, 1st platoon (I think we were 2nd or 3rd squad). @bramabull31 some kind of amphibious raid. Note the AAV in the background. Great Marines. The first training rotations immediately following Desert Storm were a challenging time and an absolute growth opportunity. Young Marines learning from the most recent generation of Marine combat veterans. Generation X. @marines @marineocsblog @marinecorpshistory @usmcmuseum #marines #infantry #gulfwar #thedirtylittlewars @13thmeu https://www.instagram.com/p/CB8gAWNH-aH/?igshid=rmrphj6pbyra

If you're into reading on a Kindle, check it out. I finally pulled the trigger and self published my military memoir through Amazon. It's available right now. The old saying about measuring twice and cutting once holds true but there's also a point when you've got to stop second guessing, rewriting, hiring more editors, mincing over every single word and waiting another few months or years so everything can fall into place. You just go. Available in paperback in a few days... So here it is; "The Dirty Little Wars: A Marine in The Los Angeles Riot & Somalia.” My kickass Marine brother and HMT partner @cioffi0331, whose oil painting “Battalion Sweep” is on permanent display at the @usmcmuseum encouraged me to share this personal milestone with our friends and followers here! Please download yours today and maybe grab the paperback when they’re released in a few days! #thedirtylittlewars #marinecorps #infantry @usmarinecorps @1stmardiv @brahmathreeone @official_13th_meu @marinecorpshistory #somaliamarines #desertstorm #vietnamwar #warstories https://www.instagram.com/p/B1G4qeen7Y-/?igshid=renbzkcpdkz1
