I joined the Marines June 6/1961. I went to Parris Island knowing nothing about the Marine Corp. I was honorably discharged June 6/1965. My life was changed to a better person “Forever”. Give it all you have SemperFi!

I would deem it an honor to meet the both of you. I have a husband that served in the Navy, a son that served in the Army for 9 years, and a son that’s been in the reserves for 29 years so far. I agree with what “E” said in one of the above messages. I’ll keep you in my prayers, and am wishing the both of you the BEST!!

Thank You both so much! I believe it is the responsibility of the youth to step foward and defend our great nation! It has been that way since our great nation was founded. You have been raised well and are certainly an asset to the Marines. God Bless you and keep you both safe!

Thank you to both of you and to your parents! In our family we have a Air Force Veteran married to a Navy Veteran (this is alphabetical) and the respect for each other and their children is wonderful. All military Veterans receive our respect and both of them will tell you they hated boot camp and would have been booted out of the Marine boot camp! This is a great story and I hope we will see more of them in the future!

Many years ago, prior to Vietnam, I graduated from high school on a Friday night. Sunday afternoon, I was at Ft. Jackson, SC, and being “dressed down” by a U.S. Army Sergeant, who was already mad at me, and he didn’t even know me.

I had never strayed far from the straight and narrow, but that entire experience in that long and hot summer and the kind of people I learned to deal with in the military, taught me a lot, and I gathered a whole new respect for the “real” world.

These lessons served me well in later years, and I retired from a civilian career with the satisfaction that I had done well.

I wish the same for you. Good luck!
