And to think I'm not even a man.

Thank you.

Sadly, no. It was stolen from my wall locker at Camp Lejeune. Someone really wanted that watch because who ever it was nearly tore the door off the hinges to get it.

It's not a fond memory as I like to think better of my fellow Marines.

Good thing you can look back on it now and get a laugh.

The time I was wounded I didn't have a watch on at all, which is probably a good thing.
