Some of his most memorable years were the 30 years in the Unites States Marine Corps.
He was raised in an orphanage and was drafted into the Marines during World War II after
The war was over he was discharged from the Marines and upon returning to the orphanage
he found out he was over the age limit set by the orphanage, and he could not remain there
so he chose to enlist in the Marine Corps and the Corps became his family.
The motto Once A Marine Always A Marine completely fits him and how he lived his life.
