NEVER served - THANK YOU to ALL who did and are!
Had a GREAT Friend, Don Puff, who was a Comic Book & Card Dealer when I met him at a Flea Market in 1979... He was First Marines and earned his Purple Heart fighting on Iwo Jima. He usually wouldn't talk about his Service, but sometimes he would. One cold rainy day at the Flea Market... Don: We sailed out of Pearl and it was still blown to Hell... Me: What was it like? Don: I remember the noise and the smell! Me: Did you ever kill anyone? Don (staring holes in me): You're goddamn right I did. They killed my friends. Me: (What am I supposed to say to that? So I say nothing.) We lost Don in 2015. Rest well, my Friend! Semper Fi! |
