Once a Marine…always a Marine…<\/p>\n

Trustee Mac McNaught ’76 sent me the information<\/a> on the USMC announcement about their Special Operations Command. \u00a0Mac also noted that our own Captain Chris Doty ’06 is now officially a “Raider.”<\/p>\n

A couple of thoughts run through my head.<\/p>\n

“Special people do special things”<\/em> is one of them. \u00a0To belong to this elite group you need to be extraordinary…in a number of ways.<\/p>\n

“It won’t be easy – it will be worth it.”<\/em> \u00a0When you’re called to be the best you can be…you don’t want it to be easy…you want the tasks to be as tough as possible. \u00a0Like these Marines…<\/p>\n

“It’s not for everyone.”<\/em>\u00a0 \u00a0Certainly isn’t. \u00a0But where would we be without the Marine Corps or these talented professionals?<\/p>\n

Those should sound familiar. \u00a0Wabash is pretty far removed from the Marine Corps…but in a lot of ways…Little Giants are Raiders as well.<\/p>\n
