Grandson’s Graduation
Dear Sgt. Grit,
I have been reading your news letter for quite some time now, and I thoroughly enjoy each and every story I read in your news letter. I wanted to write and tell you about our grandson that is now a Marine. We are very proud of our Marine, he is the second generation of Marines. Our grandson graduated boot camp on Feb. 8th of 2008, and is currently in Pensacola Florida, training for intelligence. My husband is a Marine, he served in Vietnam from 1967-1968. I have several family members that have served in the military. My father was in the army, served in WWII, two uncles served in the air force and both made a career out of it, my husband was in the Marines, served in the Vietnam war, one brother served in the army in the Vietnam war, and another brother served in the army, my son served in the army, my daughter in law served in the army, and now my grandson is serving in the Marines. I am a true patriot, and proud of each and every man and woman that serves our country so that we may live as free as we do. Here is a picture of my two generations of Marines, on our grandsons graduation day. Thanks St. Grit, for all the joy you bring with this newsletter to so many people
