Oh, more has been learned of our new guard. It’s not a female, apparently he was trying to talk about his daughter which is where Carrie got a female presence from. He’s apparently old…very old. As in, he was one of the first Marines, circa 1775. He said they were on ‘great ships’. They’d keep the Marines below deck until they needed them to fight. He also said that they had no idea what they were getting into at the time, but after they realized that everyone after would know the Marines were the best for what they had done. That is so awesome!
I’ve tried to look up the early history of the Marine Corps, but didn’t find much at all. I find that odd, so I’m going to have to look for books I guess. What I’m hoping is that this guy sticks around for a while and maybe I’ll get to talk to him. Maybe we could tell his story and add to the early history.
It’s just so fascinating…
