I'm the son of a Marine, once a Marine, always a Marine.
My friend is not a Marine in Vietnam, he was a Marine in Vietnam (stationed in Vietnam, and other locations).
I saw him a couple of weeks ago, and as we parted company, I wished him a "happy birthday" a few weeks early. Semper Fi to him, and to you Cal Coon. 👍
