My son is shipping out to boot camp in San Diego tomorrow. He has enlisted in the US Marine's and will be in basic training for the next 3 months. He is excited to get started on this new journey in his life...I am excited for him , though as I write this I am tearing up. I will miss him terribly, but I am at peace with his decision because I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that he is in God's hands. My father is a Navy man (retired), one brother is also in the Navy (retired) and my oldest brother was a Marine (now deceased, natural causes). I am proud that my son wants to serve his country in this way, and when graduation day comes in August, there will be no mom who is more proud of her son than I.
I created the below page for my son, Bryan. I know the road ahead will be difficult, but I have no doubt that he will do exceedingly well. This page reflects him now, before becoming a Marine, with the words that drew him to the Marine's over the other branches of the military..."Honor, Courage, Commitment".
Elements used to create this page are from Day of Independence kit by Rucola Designs found at
