This young man had a clean haircut, freshly pressed pants and shirt. For 13 weeks he had been making his bed, washing his own clothes, getting up and 5 A.M. and going to bed promptly at 9 P.M. His room was spotless, his speech clear, loud enough to hear and he spoke fluent English. He looked me in the eye as he spoke to me and shook my hand vigorously when we met and parted. I was addressed as Sir, as was every other male in sight. Women were addressed as Maim. David--I had the same type of experience 36 yrs ago when my 18 yr old son David ,just out of High School,followed his fathers footsteps into the Marines. His father had been in the Marine Medical Corp. When he came home from Boot camp for a break,before being sent overseas,I could hardly believe it In full dress Marine uniform,the white gloves in all He had reached the promotion of Lance Corporal. I named two dogs for him-Meadowmill's Private First Class and Meadowmill's Lance Corporal. He finished his tour ,without harm,thank GOD,returned to go to the University of Minn. Any one who was at last year's National in St Louis,probably saw him with me He drove me to be able to receive that Gold 50 yr award. He is a successful contractor now.
