William Melvin Kelley
“You know what I liked about the Marine Corps. You didn’t have to pussyfoot around. You killed or screwed anything yellow and talked to anything white. It was simple.”
William Melvin Kelley, Dem

“We had it drilled into us time and time again: 'If someone above you falls, grip tightly to the vertical rope and cradle that person in your arms until help can get to you.'...If someone fell down on me I swear I would have bitten him on the ass and would keep on biting until he got off onhis own.”
C.S. Crawford, The Four Deuces: A Korean War Story
