Proud Sister of a U.S. Marine

This is my brother and myself after his graduation. He graduated today in the Honor Platoon of Fox Company down in MCRD San Diego. He earned a "Rifle Expert" medal for completing the title of expert in his rifle training. I have the next ten days to spend with him, and then he goes to a rifle school. After that, I am not sure where he will be stationed. I'm just so happy to see him again and spend time with him!

Hoo-rah!!

I have had many personal relationships with veterans and those currently serving, yet I am always unable to put my deep thoughts & feelings of gratitude, compassion, and respect into suitable terms.

So I end up simply saying: Very big thanks and best wishes to your brother. He'll be in my thoughts for a safe and successful tour of duty.
