A couple of months ago, I posted a picture of a young boy being sworn in at Marine Corps headquarters. Below, I proudly present a new man that has joined the ranks of United States Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine. I am very proud of you AJ ! Good luck on your new life. I admire you for choosing now to help defend your country, and also your Mom & Dad, Lucy & Jim. I would have to think that Jim probably had a little to do with this, considering he is a former Marine, also. He is still very active in Marine Corps activities in Huntsville, Al.
