Bookend has been a cop in Chicago for 14 years now. He made his way up in the ranks by working narcotics for seven years. Bookend two is a lawyer in North Dakota now. The second Marine caught on a piss test worked his way back up to Cpl and talked his way into a re-enlistment. I just found out from his family that he died in a helocopter crash shortly thereafter.
Marines take care of their own.
A Marine Captain took a risk on a kid and created a human being instead of allowing him to be destroyed. Semper Fi to my Bookends, where ever you are.
