Proud descendant of Pvt. Sylvia Armstrong (later, Benton), member of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, known as the Six Triple Eight
Wifey holds 3 degrees, 2 of them graduate, 1 a JD. I am a retired Marine.
She is the helicopter pilot…I handle weapons and ammunition.
If you’re able to get out to The Gap tomorrow, come help us celebrate the life and service of a #SixTripleEight battalion member from PA.

The PA Juneteenth Initiative held an “Honor the Ancestors” event where they recognized my grandmother’s service in the #SixTripleEight
It was a great day
The most realistic thing about the movie Independence Day is that a Marine is sleeping with a stripper and staying at her house off base

I think of my addiction as that enemy. As soon as I drop my pack, that sumbitch is gonna come for me.

My kid graduated basic today. I can accept her joining the Army because she’s following in the footsteps of her great- grandmother. Four generations of military excellence, so far. Semper Fi.

It is an attack upon me and my fellow leathernecks to attempt erasure of our history. Those who do so are, by definition, the enemy. And, I have been trained to repel the enemy’s assault. That is all.

The #CHS249 crew came out to support one of our own at his art show. Cory Neale is a great local artist…his stuff is hanging on the wall behind us.

My grandmother was born on this day in 1922. She grew up in the Deep South, joined the Army and served with the #SixTripleEight, then moved to Philly where she raised a clan of warriors and taught me all the best things I know. I miss her every day. Love you, Ma Syl. Happy birthday.

My grandmother served in the Six Triple Eight. She is in the backseat of the Jeep. Her great granddaughter is in Army basic right now. Their service cannot be erased or ignored.
