SGT.Grit.
About two years ago you printed the story of how our son became a Marine.Well he is coming back to the states in 14 days,not the 2 to 3 months we though it would be.Don't get me wrong he did his time in Afgan.,and I believe he did so in true Marine fashion.Having not seen him for close to two years ,we can hardly wait.
We are very proud of him and the service he has given our country.We don't know yet if he is going to renlist or not .He and his grand father are the only two people directly related to me that have served during and in a war position for our country. I served bot it was in between Vetnamn and Desert Storm.To young for one to old for the other.I'm sure this sounds like a o hum letter ,but to us antone who serves during a war is everything but that.CPL.Hayden is his name and he is the first true Marine in our family,that alone would make his mother and I beyond proud,but being the only other member of my family to enlist and serve during war time. Please don't just toss this aside we believe he deserve our thanks.His father.
