Life is one heck of a ride. No matter how many years into yours you happen to be, you've made some memories already. Think back to the friends you had, the things you did, the places you spent your time at just 10 years ago. How ancient.Though you didn't realize it at the time, those things take on a sacredness you'd be hard-pressed to see in the moment. Time heals all and also makes the little things deeply significant and important. Now imagine making those memories in a life-and-death situation...
The retired marines in this video served our country together and survived bravely. After their training for Vietnam, the men spent a day at the beach in 1966. It was on that sunny, carefree day that the boys took a picture together. They posed in front of a surfboard, looking as manly and rugged as any heroes you'd imagine. Now, nearly 50 years later, the boys of summer are back in town. As they say, "We're not getting any younger so we thought we'd take another picture." Good on ya, boys!
