US Marine on your turf!
Good Day All,
My name is Sidney Turner of Fort Worth, Texas. I have just joined this site and am truly excited to become a part of it. Just so everyone knows I am not Scottish, but my wife is. Well, at least she is by blood. I am Irish and English by blood. We are all American born but we never forget our heraldy and our ancestors. I try to raise my boys to know who they are and stay as close to there roots as possible. It is nice to have found a community that shares in something I hold very dear and that understands me. I look forward to hearing from all of you and indulging in conversation I cannot carry on with my very non-understanding American counterparts. God Bless you all and Semper Fidelis!
Respectfully,
Sidney W. Turner Jr.
Sgt/USMC

Welcome to the Rabble, Sgt. I think you'll find yourself in good company here. There are many USMC Vets (and Vets from all the other branches) as well as several who are still serving. Pull up a seat and enjoy.
