Although I am not a Marine or had the chance to serve in the military, I have been in the civilian uniform services for more than 30 years as a police officer, firefighter, and medic. I have two sons that are Marines. My oldest got out a few years ago after several tours in Iraq, and his younger brother insisted on following in his footsteps.
Last year my son missed the holidays with us due to getting his military training. I have enclosed a few pics of our tribute to the Marines last year at Halloween (I am not a real artist). I am extremely proud of my sons for what they have accomplished and forever grateful to the men and women of the military that have given of themselves and allowed me to be a part of the greatest country in the world.
Forever grateful,
