I have attached a picture of my grandson, PFC Jordan Dwight Vicars, Jordan graduated from MCRD in May of 2010. He was assigned to one weeks duty to the Recruiting station, in his home town in Oregon City, Oregon.
This picture was taken at the Clackamas County Fair, where he met many of his previous school mates. They were impressed to see the change of what six months in the Marines can do for a young man in today's world. This duty assignment was Jordan's attempt to locate other young men to join him in his Marine Corps.
Jordan's grandfather First Sgt. Dwight E. Vicars retired in 1969, and he passed away in 2001. Therefore I feel as a Marine widow, I must stand in his place to carry on with the pride our family all have in his fine young man.
Thank You,
Mrs. Marilyn Vicars
