WaldoLydeker, I live in Jacksonville NC, the home of Camp Lejeune and also home of the former Montford Point Marine station where all African American Marine recruits trained in the early 1940's. The Montford Point Marines have a proud heritage and have been recognized at the White House and have had a Naval ship dedicated to their service.

We met as soul mates on Parris Island
We left as inmates from an asylum.

On of the best songs by Billy Joel is Goodnight Saigon. He mentions Parris Island. A very moving song about the terrible toll US soldiers experienced coming back from Vietnam.
