SgtMaddoxUSMC Posted April 12, 2016 Share #1 Posted April 12, 2016 Thought this was pretty cool... my uncle (who was a career Marine who retired around 2000) represented the USMC at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, NY. He even wore a custom made luge suit with USMC on the back. Here are some photos he sent me:Uncle Jim in the center: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtMaddoxUSMC Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted April 12, 2016 unfortunately he doesn't have any photos showing the USMC on his back... but he says he does still have the suit (along with his sled and helmet) around somewhere. I told him to send me some photos when he finds them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
