Hey Navy... I was working in the Camp Pendleton area today at Oceanside Harbor Dr. If you saw an orange CalTrans truck and some person hoeing the heck outta the weeds, that would've been me.  :)

Another Marine joins God's Army
« on: October 06, 2009, 05:54:59 PM »
My Great- Nephew, Corporal Mitchel A. Gibbs, 20 yrs old, was lost Friday evening after an accident with a school bus, near his home, on the way to his base. Eye witnesses have said before impact, he was seen throwing himself over his wife to shield her. He took the worst of the impact. She survived with only minor injuries due to Mitchel's quick action. I will miss him terribly.

The Marines at his base have been wonderful to my family. He will be laid to rest in Burlington, NC this Friday at 2:45pm.

Say a prayer for my family, This is the third soldier from this family.

Had a 1971 trunk model in High School, wanted another for old times sake, just purchased another in Washington State, very nice restore project.  I also own an all original 1972 Ford Pinto Runabout, one owner, always garaged, with 33,000 actual miles.  Life is SWEET!!!!

This is a very sad irony. These young men in duty put their lives on the line, in harms' way, and are spared only to suffer tragic consequences in unnecessary and tragic accidents. How terrible! May God bless his family in this time of need. I am sorry for your loss.
