From Karen (Gruggel) Cobb:


Just wanted to honor all who have served as well as all serving now.

This monument stands at Quantico,VA, and represents a two year effort by my husband, and nine Marine classmates from Basic School 6/67 class.  

This monument was dedicated on April 25,2014. Over 400 were in attendance for the dedication and class reunion weekend.  One letter evoked an amazing outpouring of funds from classmates,families,friends,and families of the fallen. A significant monetary surplus was given to military charities.



That weekend was truly a beautiful event for everyone that came. It was a real testament to the motto of the Marine Corps, Semper Fidelis. (Click on images to enlarge)





Thank you, Karen, for sending us this very nice message.
