Proud Marine

In your November/December 2005 issue you printed a poem, "My Marine's Sentinel," by Sandra Lee James, with a Norman Rockwell illustration (page 83).

Is it possible to order a copy suitable for framing?

I would like to surprise my daughter with it as a present full of meaning. Her father was a proud Marine who received a Purple Heart when he was wounded on Iwo Jima. Being a Marine was his proudest achievement. He is now deceased, but a daughter still takes pride in the 4th Marine Division's landing on Iwo Jima, and her dad.

Thank you for such a good magazine and one I'm proud to leave on my coffee table and in my magazine rack for visitors in my home to enjoy. I never have to worry about anything vulgar or questionable when this magazine is being read.
