My dad passed 15 years ago and we still have Marine memorabilia scattered around the house. I put my tie tack centered betweent the third and fourth and the tie is always in a full Windsor knot, just like Dad taught me. There were some things in our house that were just not done any way but the Marine way.

You forgot one. "The Navy only exists to haul Marines to where they need to be." Dad used to love using that one on CPOs.
