How Cool is this
Getting promoted in the Marine Corps in combat can still have its pomp and circumstance. Hovering new chevrons pined on by a General is really cool, but a four star general is even better, the Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps is beyond anything…
Gen. Robert Magnus, Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps, along with action stars Marshall Teague and Chuck Norris, joined a military formation of 20 service members to promote the three Marines.
Then you add an American who happens to be a Movie Star
“I’ve never been prouder in 37 years than I am right now standing among the likes of you,†he added. Magnus received his commission in 1969, seven years after Norris, 66, completed his fourth year in the Air Force.
Norris was a military police officer and took his first martial arts class while deployed to South Korea. For one of the recently promoted Marines, pinning on his new rank at the hands of a childhood hero seemed a fitting honor.
WOW

I love reading Marine news. LOL. It must have been a very special moments for these guys! And to have someone from Dollywood- an actor- praise them without all the politics is really cool as well.
