My nephew Seth, known as “Funcle” (Fun Uncle) to his nephew James, spent 13 weeks at Marine Boot Camp at MCRD in San Diego. I made this Marine doll for Seth to give to James when he returned home on leave. Marine doll made it to the Colors Ceremony on Graduation Day at MCRD.

I confess that I couldn’t figure out how to attach the sleeves of the coat, and ran out of time to figure it out, so omitted it.
