There is a
fairly new restaurant in Woodstock named Semper Fi. As you may have guessed the restaurant has an accent on the Marines. Well, really it is a restaurant in appreciation
of all armed service personnel and first responders present and
previously.
They have
good hamburgers and good grilled cheese sandwiches (that has candied fried bacon).
Their walls
are decorated military stuff (mostly Marines) that patrons have brought in,
such as pictures, company flags and banners, and so on. I talked to one of the co-owners several
times. I told him I was in the
Navy. He thanked me for serving and
asked if I had anything I could donate to put on their walls.
I thought
and thought, and I just don't. None of
my pictures I took in the Navy has a military point of view.
However, I
did think of the above picture. It is of my friend Don Lash taken on the back second level of outside stairs of
the HU-4 Barracks. He is posing, showing
off his black-eye received the night before at the EM Club.
We were
snowed in. The roads were closed and
there was nothing to do but go to the EM Club and drink. At the EM Club people were getting cabin
fever.
A drunk
Marine punched Don in the face.
I think it
had something to do with he and Don had
a disagreement about the music being played on the jukebox.
