My story is not one of an act of heroism but more of pride. My daughter enlisted in the Marines while in her Senior year of high school in Michigan. She was almost destined to be a Marine, for myself, her Dad, step-mom, and step-dad were all Marines. When she became a Marine I was there at the graduation ceremony at Parris Island SC and never felt so proud in my entire life. As her military life went on she was stationed at Quanitico VA. The day after the 911 attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon she and others from the Motor Pool at Quantico delivered several tents, supplies and personal to the Pentagon and saw first hand the devastation caused by the attacks. Our veterans past present and future will always have my sincere thanks and upmost respect, including my daughter, the Marine.
