SEMPER FI

Seems like he just graduated from high school. Oh wait...he did! And now, here he is a marine. How proud I am of him. The commitment of a young man as he trains and prepares to dedicate his life in service to our nation, protecting the freedoms that we all hold dear. We can never take them for granted. Such sacrifice is made to keep our country strong and free. Such courage. I, for one, will forever be grateful to those who serve. Thank you does not say enough.

They take great pride in him...their son and brother; it was hard to watch him leave and they miss him greatly, they are tight-knit as a family. But they are oh so proud of him.
