Dad officially retired from the Marine Corps over a century before The War.

He did things and saw people, and a lot of good people are alive today because of it. And a fair number of the bad ones aren\u2019t. He always tried to make the worlds better when he left. That\u2019s what he told me while I was growing up. That was the real mission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
