This is the first picture of several in a sequence by a Marine Photographer
and dear friend and the men of the Mispillion. When my father died in 52
the marines from his unit and some of the navy men started writing daddy
letters to me. Well more than 50 years later the men of the mighty miss
gave me away at my wedding in November. The marine would make a joke and
the navy would jab right back....the second picture was the last in this
sequence and the Marine really brought it home breaking us all up. The joy
of the day and the emotions are the only reason I would share a photo that
makes me look like a relative to a donkey.....it was awesome and just
speaks to the wonderful guys who have served over the years and how they
still take care of their own. The one guy sitting next to me (Chris
Munson) was the Captains son who stood by me in 1952.
