Not to mention that those who serve in the corp during peace time more than did their part. Because the corp is exceptionally well trained and always vigilant, there was no need to use them during that time frame! My own meager service, though not Marine corp, also fell into the late 70's and early 80's when the big red menace existed.
"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon
