Peacekeeper..
Interesting tidbit, On my dad's side, my 9th great grandfather, after fighting in most of the Northern battles during the Rev war, went and fought on the captured HMS Mars. I don't know if he served as a sailor or a sailor/soldier, but I am thinking he might have very well been one of the first Marines.
Never would have connected leathernecks with the stock, just thought they were the toughest of the tough, and so leather like!
Now my mom;s side, they were on the other side, still seems that way at times!
