"Liberty and Justice"
Two more for a Marine that's finally coming home..... I did my best - still don't think it's quite good enough considering all he's been through... "Liberty"  "Justice"

Nice dressing Steely. Good on you for taking the time to do those.

He's the son of a great friend... home for good hopefully from Afganistan. I say hopefully because he told me - like we all have most likely heard..the push is on for more troops there. Anyway.. for a young man....he's grown old. He is truly - as all of you are who have served, a courageous hero.

When I first saw that I said, "Wow!" Great tie. Quite a way to honor a marine.

Quite simply... they are awesome! and well they should be to honor the service provided by the marine that you are making them for...
I'm sure he will appreciate them, and cherish them for what they stand for.
Great job!
