Having been in the Corps for 4 years, this is a special day for all of us Marines. Even tho I havent been in for a very long time, my heart still goes out to our troops over- seas. Also, for all of the young men & women that are just getting out of school, not even knowing what life has to offer, and the first sites of the world that they will see, is combat. In a very deep place inside of me, I wish that I could be there to help out. However, I'm not as young or as good looking as I used to be. I pray for all of their safe return home.
