Welcome
This web site is a dedication of those who served before me, with me and after me. And it is a way of show my affection for the United States Marine Corps.
I am very pleased to have you visit with me and hope that you stop by again. There will be more additions in the near future added to this web site.
Enjoy your visit and please feel free to leave your thoughts and comments by contacting me.
Sincerely,
Bill MacDonald

Once a Marine, Always a Marine:
Once the title "U.S. Marine" has been earned, it is retained. There are no ex-Marines or former-Marines. There are (1) active duty Marines, (2) retired Marines, (3) reserve Marines, and (4) Marine veterans. Nonetheless, once one has earned the title, he remains a Marine for life.
"You earned the title "Marine" upon graduation from boot recruit training. It wasn't willed to you; it isn't a gift. It is not a government subsidy. Few can claim the title; no one can take it away. It is yours forever." Tom Barlett - Leatherneck Magazine
And if you have not guessed... I earned the title "Marine". I am a Marine.
