Hey Marines, How About a K Bar Skean Dhu?

[Archangel]

That's it! The handle color on mine is what shows here...not sure its olive drab, looks brown or War 2 khaki to me.

They made a nice profit off of me, but don't begrudge them finding this and making such a nice leather sheath with the EGA on it.

For me, only thing important is the handle sticking out of my kilt hose :-P

Semper Fi,

Ron

whoa, that's a moment, I think I've waited all my life for a marine to say semper fi to me. I'm being respectful, really.

That is one of the best military traditions. Do you remember the story of the Canadian First Nation marine that never had an honour guard at his funeral. When his buddies found out about it years later, they got together and voluntarily came to Canada, to the cemetary and did it right. The story brought tears to my eye, does now remembering it.

A both sad and joyful tale. Glad he was done right.

Spent some time with the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets in Comox, B.C. in about 1960 when I was in the then new U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps...twas a Marine that steered my young heart towards the Corps.

Semper Fi,

Ron
