Ex
How to present the proper name of a Marine and how not do that.
“You say ‘ex’ like it’s the same as veteran or former. It’s like your ex-wife. She once was your wife but since the divorce she is no longer your wife. Same goes here,” Jesep Livermoore posited.
“So he’s not a Marine anymore?” Jalen Kasmen asked. “I mean what does it mean to be a Marine no longer in the Corps? Does it mean they continue to be part of the pack?”
“No. Not at all. Veteran or former Marines who remain honorable Devil Dogs and who stay to the code for life, it’s ‘Once a Marine, Always a Marine.’”
“Respect.”

Breath issued from Angelica’s mouth. The weight of the baby put her into her chair. Her curves managed to say she had not been with child the whole time. There seemed to be a fantastic ideal swimming somewhere in her mind about the hazards of caring for two. She grabbed a magazine and fanned herself, knowing that she expended more energy in that effort sitting still and letting the air conditioning do the job. No, she told herself, without struggle there is no triumph. She switched on the television set. The picture looked as people had been replaced by blue aliens and she just watched her soap opera, void of extraterrestrials for this time.
