The man I'm standing next to is Marine Sgt. R.V Burgin. For those of you who have seen the miniseries The Pacific, he was Sledge and Snafu's squad leader. Survived Peleliu, Okinawa and more. I met him at a gunshow, had a stand in the corner with his book and posters. While everyone else here were walking around with fake SF hats, disabled VA cards stamped on their shirts and their dd214 inked on their arms trying to be hard, no one even stopped by to shake his hand, let alone realize who this guy is. So, I went, shook his hand, thanked him for his service, we swapped stories, exchanged numbers and I remained a bitch for the rest of the day and hazed my soul accordingly. He loved the shirt btw. Just to think that I watched the series last night. Never miss chance to thank a vet. "I joined the Marines because they are the best" Sgt. R.V. Burgin. #zerofucks #stayzero #nofucks #zerofoxtrot #marines #usmc #ww2 #greatestgeneration
