Marine Corps Mascot Changing of the Guard

[Marine91]

Found this story while browsing one of my Facebook pages this morning. I am a die hard Marine Veteran and believe it or not I actually had a chill come over me around the time that the ceremony took place yesterday. Bullies and Marines go hand in hand with one another and even the bullies themselves have their own modified bootcamp they go through. Enjoy your retirement Sgt. Chesty XIII and Welcome to the brotherhood LCpl. Chesty XIV. There are some cute picks in the article.

Hello,

What a great post. The honor of service for humans and for animals goes back to the begining of time. The loyalty of both has been shown time and time again. Not only in the military, but in local law enforcement, search and rescue, and companion and therapy dogs.

Thank you!

A sincere thank you to all who have served in any branch. We are all equal brothers and sisters in service.

Good Day~
USAF - Ret
