Johnlw7 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 My best friend my hero my first born son.Matthew my oldest son will be leaving for Marine boot camp on August 18 his birthday.Their has been a Marine in my immediate family for well over 100 years.He could have chosen and been accepted to most colleges.At first I was mad at him for joining.Not that I have anything against our servicemen. Perhaps it was all the folklore surrounding his grandfather,one of the most highly decorated Marines from the state of Arkansas during World War II.When I asked him why he was joining.He told me so his little brother or nephews wouldn't have to.Words cannot express the pride I have in my son who is now a man.I love and appreciate all veterans who make this country what it is.
