I dont take good photos, but one of the last remaining Navajo Code Talkers. I took this picture during the Navajo Nation Fair.
Looks like a dang good photo to me.

Over the years, I have found that the fraternity of service personnel, regardless of their branch of service, has a similar ethos. It can be surprising to see even the good-natured ribbing that goes on between services. I'm an Army vet, and I've been known to joke with Air Force vets about the A-10 being the best airplane that the AF has, mostly because it serves well to support the ground troops.
Whatever one's service, you have my respect.

Marines always remember they are part of the Department of the Navy.
The MEN'S department!

PLEASE tell me you’re not talking about these guys with hair down to their butts or “man buns”.
God bless the USMC. While every single jarhead out there is as goofy as a peach orchard boar, I truly admire and respect each and every one of them.
Just yesterday, I was in Sam's in nw okc. I have this thing that I've done for several, several yesrs now. If I see a young man in uniform or an old man in a ball cap with his branch on it, I'll stop and offer him/her a handshake and a quick kind word along the lines of thanking them for their service and fighting for my family's freedom.
I especially do this with the Vietnam vets. They were treated so awful and terrible by my parent's generation, that it just tugs at my heart.
Anyways, back to Sam's yesterday...I'll bet I visited with 5 old vets, 2 army, 1 navy and 2 leathernecks. The army and navy vets simply smiled, shook my hand and said "thank you" while the two devil dogs both immediately asked me if I was a marine as well and said goodbye with either a "Semper Fi" or a quick "hoorah!"
Kevin Bacon made a movie about 10 years ago called Taking Chance. Awesome film. It's about a USMC Lt. Colonel who escorts the remains of a fellow marine back to his hometown. It's not a shot-em-up movie, just an incredible look at how much honor and respect the corps gives to their own.
Yup...God bless the marine corps.

Taking Chance is an awesome movie!
I too try to thank current service folks and vets, and I also thank LEOs, firefighters and other first rersponders for their willingness to serve us.
