A Marine Family

My Father James Denzel Hill was in the Marine Corps from 53 to 66. Had already hit Korea and Vietnam. Was going to do his last stretch to get his 20, but was told he would go right back to Nam. So he just got out. Growing up with this guy, you could tell he was all Marine. Did not talk about the action he seen,but we knew it was there. He drank alot for years,and finally had a massive heart attack in 81 and died at 46. I personally think this was a crutch for all he did for this Country. My Father was a Hero. 4 of his boys,myself included, all went in the Marine Corps and kept his name going. Very proud of the Hill family. Semper Fi Dad
