Probably need to write it up and keep it with that coin. Originally Posted by Dewey S Warrant Officers were always the coolest. We all wanted to be one!

Originally Posted by Nessmuck That's what makes America Great...stories like that. Thanks for sharing. Nessy, it still amazes me that people think this country is bad.

Asked me a bunch of questions about the Marine Corps and how I was doing then he said he had to go because his shipmates were waiting on him. They were about to shove off. Incredible man he was.
