This is my son, Kevin, who is a Corporal with the United States Marine Corps.  He returned from a 7-month deployment to Afghanistan on 3/14/2012.  It was a tough time adjusting to him being so far away and surrounded by danger all the time, but he's following his heart and his passion.  He's very, very proud to be a Marine and defend our country!  I'm very proud of him as well, but more importantly, so very happy that he found his passion so young in life and is able to pursue it!  And after all, isn't that what every parent wants for their child?  I just wish it didn't include "live" ammo, but whaddaya gonna do, right?  ;o)

 

Anyway...

 

If anyone feels so inclined, you can help support the troops through many channels.  Here are just a few:

 

Adopt a Marine

The Red Cross

The USO

Adopt A Soldier

 

Interesting fact... NEVER call a Marine a "soldier"!!  They are MARINES!!  :o)
