have you tried asking a marine recruiter? perhaps they would know where to find some. A dry cleaners? they replace buttons. I just can't imagine a marine taking buttons from a uniform. never have seen uniforms in thrift stores. makes sense-wouldn't want anyone impersonating a soldier. How bout a costume shop?
