I sat down with a former Grunt Sergeant, Jake Stone, on a calm, sunny, Saturday November morning, to ask about his experience in the Marine Corps. Mr. Stone is a rather frail looking man in a wheelchair that you can tell used to be a powerful man despite his age which is approaching late seventies. I learned a lot from him. For example, Mr. Stone was a training officer during the Vietnam War. He was stationed in California teaching hand to hand combat, bayonets, pistols, rifles, hand grenades, flamethrowers

Tori the basset hound was just an ordinary dog, except for a minor flaw: she refused to take a bath! Tori would dig in the mud, chew on her owner’s shoes, and roll in the trash, but she would not step foot in a tub. Tori’s smelliness was never a problem, until the day her owner dropped her off at Doggy Daycare. It was her first day at a new place, and Tori could not wait to play outside with the other dogs.

The Grunt Padre by Father Daniel Mode is a book that tells about faithful hero Father Vincent Capodanno. He is a faithful hero because of everything he has done for his faith. Not only was he sent to be a missionary; he was also a military chaplain during the Vietnam War. Father Capodanno was very much devoted to his Christian faith. He died as a martyr for his faith.

Everything there was really bright because this system had 2 suns. The first step I took on the ground, a squad of grunts and elites ambushed me. starting with the grunts first, I let the grunts charge me and when they came close enough, and I lunged at them. I killed the first one quickly by grabbing him and stabbing him right in the neck, severing his head.
