When David Culmer was growing up in Philadelphia, he knew early on that he wanted to be a Marine.
“I saw this guy who was ten feet tall, and he had gold stripes, a blue uniform, a red stripe down his pants, and he stood like a giant,” Culmer recalled when he spoke to The Epoch Times. “I wanted to be like him. He had pride, he had statuary, he had everything I wanted as a six-year-old kid. That’s why I joined the Marines.”
