My wifes friend brought her father to our cookout. Albert is 71 former Vietnam marine 3rd marines 0311 mos infantry ,I love infantry as I was army airborne volunteer ass trash 82nd.

This is a picture of him receiving his second Purple Heart.
Sadly he used an M-14 to committe suicide the weekend he closed escrow on a house at Long Beach OR on 9-11-2016.
After returning from Nam he took up fencing because he dertermined that Atlantis will rise (hey man, it was the 60s) and firearms will somehow disappear.
He became a bonafide fencing master, and taught it from Santa Cruz CA to Spokane WA.
I miss him greatly.
