Beth,
Just sent me these pictures and told me I'll have this bow by Thursday. Let me say that Beth and Dave are OUTSTANDING people and were an absolute pleasure to work with. My Father made a career out of The United States Marine Corps, retiring with 21 yrs of service. We lost the "GUNNY" to cancer this July it will be three years. I dedicated this bow to my Father, Dave & Beth did him proud. SEMPER FI DAD - OOH RAH -

What an absolutely stunning bow! Your father would be very proud of what you've done in his memory. Your hunts with this bow will be very special. Is that Macasser with sheephorn?

Gorgeous bow! and a wonderful tribute.
The red acccent stripe is reminiscent of the Blood Stripe worn by Marine NCO's and officers. Not sure if you planned it that way or not, but either way, a beautiful bow and one your father would approve of I'm sure. Tim

Very nice. What a great way to preserve fond memories.
Very nice bow! If nobody has mentioned it before, the red stripe looks like a blood strip, a Marine Corps tradition from the days when ships had sails. Semper Fidelis,
Mike
A great tribute to "The Gunny." Semper Fi to you.
OMG! That is one of the most beautiful bows I've ever seen! An honorable tribute.
Semper Fi Gunny, Semper Fi!
I'm sure he is really proud of that bow too.
My son is talking to a Marine recruiter now. Something I wish I would have done.
Simply a beautiful bow with great mojo for sure. Congratulations.
