Him and his marine brothers in arms is the only reason why I can type the messages I type today. Of all the armed men and women who fought in the 6.25 war, none shed as much blood, showed as much gumption, and courage as the United States Marine Corp time and time again against OVERWHELMING odds.
Please pass along my most sincere message of gratitude to your father-in-law, and let him know that there are more Patriots in DC (not just the familiar demographic) than even he can dream of.
If I may be permitted, I say this:
Semper Fidelis.
God bless you, sir.
