## Description

This USMC Ask Me What I Was plaque/sign is perfect gift for any Marine that has ended their active service or is retired. The words to "Ask Me What I Was" are etched into a black painted wood sign along with a generic Marine face. The images and words are etched away revealing the natural wood. The sign is then finished a clear coat to seal the wood. The back has a saw-tooth hanger for easy wall hanging. Makes for a perfect gift for a Marine veteran. Each item will vary in color and texture based on wood grain.   ﻿Dimensions: About 11.5" x 8.5" x .5"  USMC Official Hobbyist, License # 18308  ASK ME WHAT I WAS  I'll reply with what I've done. Those things others would not do, I did; Those rivers others would not swim, I swam; Those hills others would not climb, I conquered; Those bridges others would not cross, I crossed; I have celebrated. I have mourned. I have smiled and I have frowned. I have seen death and felt its warm breath. It did not faze me, for I was different. I was a warrior. You ask me what I was? It was my destiny. Until my last breath. To be a United States Marine. And my spirit shall live forever. SEMPER FIDELIS For I was, I am, and I shall forever be a UNITED STATES MARINE

My fiancée LOVED this! We gave it to him for his birthday and he teared up reading it. He said "You did it again and found me a perfect gift!" I would highly recommend this for any Marine in your life!
