Commandant's message

Found this in one of my many boxes of stuff, it speaks for itself:

lol Shows you how stuck in WW II I am. When I saw "Commandant's Message" I immediately thought of Col. Klink. Sheesh!

 

[dhermann1]

That's WWII. Its from Gen Vandergrift, commandant from 44 to 46.

In deference to tradition, old leathernecks to this day still use quotation marks for emphasis:

PLEASE
"DON'T"
SLAM
"DOOR"

"CHICKEN"

And probably the shortest Commandant's message I've ever seen. very cool

My gut-check always said Vandegrift read like a class-act, and this just seems to confirm it. Semper Fi!

Can you imagine being in command on Guadalcanal, with your complement of Marines, and no hope of relief for a good long while? Gutsy indeed.
