For Memorial Day, Marines from Lima Company 3/6 come together on Tales From The Corps to remember the friends and fellow Marines who never made it home—and to share the stories that keep their memories alive.
Mike Francis and Jon Stough are joined by Jake “The Snake” Lybrook for a conversation about their years in the Marine Corps, from boot camp and the ridiculous moments of young Marines finding their way to the experiences overseas that would stay with them long after they came home.
The stories move between humor and remembrance because, for Marines who served together, the two are often inseparable. They talk about brotherhood, loss, deployment memories, the transition to civilian life, and the Marines whose absence is still felt years later.
This isn't only a conversation about how Marines died. It's about who they were, the friendships they left behind, and why telling their stories matters.
The episode also looks beyond their own generation of Marines to the importance of preserving the stories of World War II veterans, including an effort to honor some of the last surviving members of that generation through a commemorative trip.
