They are good pics...don't get me wrong.
You brought back memories of MY times in a Marine Corps Dress Blue outfit. The Black Marine Sergeant looked like he had a GREAT time. lol
All the captions aside...I knew of a Black Marine who was killed - by an ungrateful, jealous civilian in California. The reason was an interracial issue - the civilian was white, and his former wife married the Black Marine.
ANY person that frowns upon our service members...white, black, asian, etc., for ANY reason - is not acting like a grateful citizen. (Especially when an interracial couple is involved.) Yes, I am off-topic once again...but harassing military personnel, protesting at a military funeral, even going back to the Vietnam era, and calling them "Baby Killers" is detramental to our country's morale...in my humble opinion.
Osama bin Laden is still out there...Rolling on the ground, and cackling his 'camel jockey' ass off. (Simply because we tend to destroy ourselves faster than he can plan a terrorist attack.)
