Sgt Grit is a place where Marines can come and meet other Marines, share tattoos and stories, keep up with Marine Corps news, or shop for USMC gear.

I wanted to say thank you to the Sgt. Grit?s team for making me this bumper sticker. I?ve seen several items for wives, girlfriends, and fianc?s, but never anything for those of us who are proud of being a Marine Corps brat. As I drive around town or on the freeway it has become common place for Marines, young and old, new guard and old guard, to wave, salute, or honk their horns. Those around me think I?m nuts to place this on my car, but I am truly thankful for the service and sacrifice the Marines have made so that I may enjoy my freedom at home.
Sgt Grit,
I really enjoy the newsletter, especially the pictures, so I decided to send my own. I joined the Corps in 1979 and after boot camp went to NAS Memphis for Avionics school. There I met two guys from back home, New Hampshire for me, Massachusetts for them, but home just the same. We spent the better part of 1980 in Memphis and then received orders to different bases. I went to MCAS Beaufort, SC., Jay went to MCAS Cherry Point, NC., and Mark went home to NAS South Weymouth, MA.
My Marine son graduated 3056 Lima Co, Parris Island, on 21 July 2006. I proudly attended the Emblem Ceremony and the Graduation, and will cherish these memories for life. Long before the event, I had searched for a suitable card to present to him afterwards. We drove back to his barracks to retrieve his sea bags and other items. I parked and saw lots of folks reading my bumperstickers (check the pictures I’ve attached!).
We received our gear, and it looks GREAT!
Ella is going to look like a GREAT Marine!
Thanks you guys!

Semper Fi from central Illinois. I’m enclosing 3 pictures of my daughter with the Marine Corps gear we had purchased from you. Totally satisfied with the quality and the price. Not to Mention how cute she looks. Just thought you would like to see our little addition to the Corps family. It’s ok if you would like to put this up on the website.
