Recently, from the confines of his home as a shut-in, he organized his fellow senior citizens having his medical attendant deliver them to the local post office for mailing at his own expense.
And while three bullet wounds in Vietnam ended David Griffith's active Marine role after 11 years and 5 months,. this true American patriot has remained a Marine at heart, breathing his love of the US Marine Corps everyday . . . and wishing that he could have served a full career as a Marine. Semper Fi ... David Griffith for exemplifying love and pride of America as a Marine and your ongoing noble patriotic efforts! |

David Griffith was severely wounded in Vietnam while serving
his country with the Marines and now must rely on his
wheelchair and walker for his mobility . . . and a computer
terminal for his window on the world.
Moreover, David Griffith currently keeps in
contact (by email and mail) with over 150 Marines in Iraq
from his bedroom desk every month. His reply to why is . . . "I
don't want these kids coming home to a cold and unforgiving
country this time like we did from Vietnam." (His reason
should ring true to all Americans.)
