Proud descendant of Pvt. Sylvia Armstrong (later, Benton), member of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, known as the Six Triple Eight
My Marine brothers and I celebrated our 250th birthday today, here in Philadelphia…the birthplace of our Corps. Semper Fidelis.

If you’re able to get out to The Gap tomorrow, come help us celebrate the life and service of a #SixTripleEight battalion member from PA.

The PA Juneteenth Initiative held an “Honor the Ancestors” event where they recognized my grandmother’s service in the #SixTripleEight

It was a great day

My kid graduated basic today. I can accept her joining the Army because she’s following in the footsteps of her great- grandmother. Four generations of military excellence, so far. Semper Fi.

The #CHS249 crew came out to support one of our own at his art show. Cory Neale is a great local artist…his stuff is hanging on the wall behind us.

My grandmother was born on this day in 1922. She grew up in the Deep South, joined the Army and served with the #SixTripleEight, then moved to Philly where she raised a clan of warriors and taught me all the best things I know. I miss her every day. Love you, Ma Syl. Happy birthday.

My grandmother served in the Six Triple Eight. She is in the backseat of the Jeep. Her great granddaughter is in Army basic right now. Their service cannot be erased or ignored.

Couldn’t get the video in 4K. I’ll see if I can upgrade before the parade.

My grandmother’s name was Sylvia Benton. She was a member of the legendary Six Triple Eight. She was a phenomenon.

Is there a #sealedbrindleboxer Sky somewhere? Adonis need to be seen and loved by everyone on Earth.
