Wildspirit's Fotothing

Retired U.S. Marine Gunnery Sergeant Edward S. Bardwell of Hemet, California, doing what he loves to do---wear his uniform at public events commemorating the military in one form or another. Note the Purple Heart and rugged hands of a warrior comforting a child.
He spent 37 years on active duty and still provides a military presence at funerals of veterans of any service. It's men like this that makes our country strong.
