I'm wearing a plain red t-shirt that says Marines in gold letters on the front. It was given to my son by his recruiter when he was in the delayed entry program. The day my son left for MCRD, he wore it mistakingly thinking that it would be OK. The recruiter about crapped his pants and told him to get rid of anything Marine related or he (my son) would catch hell the minute he stepped off of the plane. So I traded shirts with him.
Every time I was sad and missing my son be he in MCRD, North Carolina or Iraq, I would wear it and make me feel better. He has done his time and is now out of the Corps, but I still love this shirt and I'll wear it until it is threadbare and tattered like me.
