It has been an honor to serve both the Corps and the Country. Belonging to an organization that has this high degree of Standard, Pride and the strongest Brotherhood in the world, is something most only can dream of.

Welcome to the area of our site that shares what my family and I have been very proud to be part of...The United States Marines.
If you haven't been to Walt's page let me explain. I have had the privilege to serve in the Marine Corps for little over 21 years. What one learns and feels about the Corps is very difficult to explain. That is why I developed this area of our site. It is intended to educate, share feelings and show our beliefs about our beloved Corps and our Country.
Below are some links to pages that I feel will better explain what I'm trying to say. For those that have served in the Corps, you will understand, for those that haven't...please try to.
It's the most basic tenant of the Marine Corps that every Marine is a leader, regardless of his rank. The 11 Leadership Principals and 14 Leadership Traits listed below are learned by every Marine. We strive to live by these every day and to embody the ideals which they establish. These are the heart and soul of a Marine |
"Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if
they have ever made a difference to the world,
Marines don't have that problem..."
