Marine Corps Buddies Reunited

I was in the Marine Corps from 1993 – 1997.  Three years of those four I was stationed on the wonderful island of Okinawa, Japan.  Within the first couple of days of getting on the island is when I met Evan Parker.  Within those three years, Evan became one of the best friends I have ever had.  Evan left the island a few months before I did.  When he left, that was the last time I saw him, until last weekend, so around almost 12 years..  I got to meet his beautiful family and we went to D.C. to check out some of the sites.  I had a blast, even though it was FREEZING cold out side, I had a blast.

This first picture is of Evan and me from either 1996 or 1997.

This second picture is of Evan and me from this past weekend. It was taken at the Vietnam Memorial.
