Well stated, Seahawk.
Being retired, I don't have the interaction with the Active Duty Marines I used to. Even after a few years, I still, occasionally, find myself missing the way things were while I was in.
I'm not sure if this is just a local thing here in Georgia or not, but something a lot of people started doing in the spring of 2003 was to leave a light on in a window at night. This was to signify to any family member of a service man or woman that this was a "safe" house.
"Safe", meaning, if they ever needed help with anything, from a flat tire, to family assistance, to even just a place to go to be with people who cared...they were always welcome...ALWAYS!
Just another way of taking care of our own.
Semper fi!
