“GOOD MORNING MARINE! I would hear Jim coming down the hall to my desk, to hear him belt it out in a loud voice you would think he was ten feet tall. Well I guess since you are the boot in heaven old Chesty must have you on fire watch. We will all feel safer knowing you are watching over us. Every 10 November will always have a more important meaning to me now. You are missed. Semper Fi.”
