A young Marine High Brass mentored in hunting and shooting sent a nice bracelet honoring Chad to me and our daughter-in-law. I don't know how to post picks these days but if someone wants to post the pic for me I can email it. ![[Linked Image]](http://https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/download/Number/50304/filename/bracelet.JPG)

God Bless y'all
if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

I got the pic posted kinda sorta.
Chad's best friend, Ryan Willit (Rye77) is Austin Smith's step dad. While Ryan was deployed Chad took Austin under his wing. Austin is already a corporal and a heavy weapons Marine. Austin had a bracelet made for Chad's wife too.

That's a beautiful and very special gift. I think of you and yours often, especially when I get the chance to talk to my young Marine.

Dave,
thanks for posting that....
I think of our time at the cemetery where he rests in peace,
and once again close my eyes and salute that stone out of respect
and give a prayer to God for him, and your family...
and thank Chad for his service.

That was a very nice thing for the young Marine to do. It is a very good bracelet. I know you are proud of Chad and with good reason. I think of you guys often. Thanks for sharing the pics Sir.
