Richard Steele, the boxing referee who basically excahnged Las Vegas’ major events with Mills Lane, was also a Marine.
So was my dad, Antonio Santiago Sr., And I’d been one if not because I have type-1 Diabetes, since age nine.
Oh well, there are other battles to be won I guess, even if I wish with heartfelt desire to be a Marine.
