Carlos Hathcock the best Marine GYSGT ever!!!

[blacksky]

This is a repost of mine from 01-06-09 felt the need to bring it back to life!

This past Veterans Day and weekend had me watching several of my favorite movies.

The Green Berets
Apocalypse Now Redux
Platoon
Saving Private Ryan
The HBO Series:
Band Of Brothers
The Pacific

Which brought GYSGT Carlos Hathcock, Marine Sniper to mind...

Take time to pay homage to one of the greatest if not the greatest soliders ever.

A Marine needs no medals, he needs no books, all he NEEDS is a Mission and a Commanders Intent.




...but it is nice to randomly find out that you rate a MUC...

Sorch you're welcome!

I celebrated at the local Applebee's in Camarillo, CA on Friday the 10th with a packed house of Marines from Port Hueneme, CA.
Applebee's gave all veterans and current military members a meal of their choice with desert for free from open to close!
What a great way to honor our veterans and current military members! Ooorah!
