I am also a Civil War buff and read everything I can find on the subject. My Dad's family fought for the North and my Mom's family fought for the South. My heart and soul have always been in the South and I am PROUD that my family fought with the South. I would have too! Of course, I would have to be a Confederate Marine!

About me: My full name is Charles Patrick Dugan and I am fully retired from three places: 1) United States Marine Corps (http://geocities.com/operationunion/) , 2) Law Enforcement and 3) Education. I was born August 14, 1946 in Del Rio, Texas where I still live. My family has lived here since 1882 and my love of the Mexican-American border and its people is immense. My Great-Grandfather was a Texas Ranger, My Grandfather was a Border Sheriff and I was raised in an environment of guns and violence.
I go by three monikers or nicknames. My Grandfather (Pappo) named me "PitBull" (His spelling), "Animal" was my nickname in the Marine Corps and " Dugalito" by all my childhood Mexican American friends and was used when I boxed. I go by all three!
My Dad flew into Del Rio on a B-26 Marauder Bomber and married my Mom and never left again. My Dad was a highly decorated Army Air Force Veteran of WWII and a boxer and weightlifter (Philly Boxer) I had no choice in what I was going to do!
I was a Golden Gloves Boxer (Started at 12 years old), in college and the Marine Corps with a win/loss of 79 wins and 1 loss by split decision (I was NEVER knocked down in the ring) I was also heavily involved in Sport Judo and earned a 1st Degree Black Belt.I had a perfect record and was never defeated in Sport Judo. I was a Powerlifter with personal bests of a 420 pound bench-press, 760 pound Squat and a 550 pound Deadlift. All without steroids or "Special" lifting shirts and suits.
I served in Vietnam 1966-1967 as a Combat Marine Machine Gunner (M-60) and later became the youngest SERE Inst. in the Marine Corps. SERE is Survival, Escape, Resistance to Interrogation and Evasion. I taught Recon Marines until 1991 and re-wrote the 0321 Recon Manual on Land Navigation.
I was born to be a Marine, lived a Marine and will die a Marine. A Marine till Death and Beyond!
