Attention on deck,

Link section update;
When visiting our new links of interest section in the forums area we have been adding links we feel might interest you. Yellow Footprints is not like many web sites that do not want you to talk about other web sites. WE on the other hand feel any web site that helps you Marines connect or find your brother and sister Marines SHOULD be posted for all to see. We encurrage you to support and visit all Marine Corps site.


For you new visitors (you notice I didn't say members) you can have your platoon sections as well as a personal section created in the boot camp database whether your a member or not. We do not require you to become a member to add your historical information to this great database. If you have any questions or comments you can reach out to any of the administrators, or me at gmiller@yellowfootprints.com

LtGen "Chesty" Puller statue
For those interested in supporting this mission here is the following information I received yesterdat (4/28/09).....
My name is Jim Barnett , and I am a retired Marine First Sergeant. I have formed a committee of former Marines , through the Seagoing Marine Association, and authorized by LtGen Ron Christmas of the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation to have a statue built to honor LtGen "Chesty" Puller. It will be the first statue ever built to honor this great Marine, and we feel that it is long past due. It will be placed at a special site at the National Marine Corps Museum at Quantico. We would greatly appreciate it if you would join our team and disseminate this to any and all that you feel might help us in this worthwhile effort. If every one that you send this to would then send it to all of their friends , that would be fantastic. An article about our project has appeared in the November 2008 issue of "Leatherneck" magazine , and in a December 2008 issue of "Marine Corps Times". Marines have always been known to help their fellow Marines in need , and that is why I am asking for your help.
