Let's have some great picture memorabilia!

I'm really going out on a limb here with this one. There were some really great photos of RP Members in their very first uniform picture. Thanks for sharing everyone who participated - that is still going by the way!

Picture of my Dad (PFC Don Burroughs, Korean War Veteran)

Now let's get some pictures of the last days in uniform posted!

This was taken on the USS Constellation on 10/23/87. We had just got back from our Deployment and it was my Daughters 13th birthday and we had a Father/Daughter Dance. She said it was her best Birthday ever. I retired in Jan 88

Since the next picture from that day was of me wearing the t-shirt, I'm gonna guess that this is indeed the last picture of me in uniform.

Unfortunately this is the ONLY picture I have from my time in the Marine Corps, it's the picture they take of you in boot camp. Upon asking my ex-wife for a divorce she gathered up all my uniforms, commendations and memorabilia/photos and burned them in retaliation while I was away on business.
