So You're In the Club Too?

By DIA

The life of a grunt. We loved it. We hated it. We're proud of our service and most definitely proud of our time in the world's most feared fighting force, the U.S. Marine Corps Infantry. We forged bonds with one another that can't be made anywhere else; from the sands of 29 Palms to the beaches of Camp Lejune to Hawaii, California and Okinawa, we had each other's backs in bars and clubs wearing our "Death Before Dishonor" tattoos, high and tights, and sweet bomber jackets complete with moto patches.

We covered our brothers' six again when we deployed to fight America's wars from WWII to Iraq and Afghanistan. We stopped the bleeding with our own hands, carried one another when needed, and never left each other behind. We fought and some died for each other. And we would do it all again.

So our Club 03 Series honors the various contributions each of us "in the club" made to upholding our reputation as ferocious Devil Dogs.

Our Mortarmen were responsible for the tactical employment of the 60mm light mortar and the 81mm medium mortar. Mortarmen provided indirect fire in support of the rifle and LARS quads/platoons/companies and. the infantry and LAR battalions. They were located in the weapons platoons of the rifle and LAR companies and the weapons company of the infantry battalion.

Thanks for wielding big tubes on the battlefield brothers!

SEMPER FI!
