  One of the proudest days of my life was watching my son graduate. My wife was sick and went to PI wearing a chemo pump. She came home and was hospitalized with an infection afterwards, but she wasn't going to miss her boy graduate. She lost her fight with cancer 10/6/23, shortly after meeting her first granddaughter. She was a proud marine mom.

  When I was at the Island in 1984 the first time I put on my newly issued trouser’s, a small piece of paper from the manufacturer fell out of my pocket that said “Inspected by Number 6”.  The next 2 hours the Drill Instructor had me on my hands and knees crawling and blowing the piece of paper around the squad bay yelling “Little white tag, get out of my life!” at the top of my lungs each time I blew it. 🤣 Funny as heII now but I assure you it wasn’t at the time. 😂

  Did mine in 1952. Lots of memories and no regrets. In my mind I am still MARINE and damned proud of it. Now approaching 89 years on God's green earth. Semper Fi!

  When you're there the drill instructors are a nightmare but later you realize how incredible those guys are. You never see them break character or take a second off the entire time. They are 100% switched on every second. Their discipline is impeccable.

  My cousin fought in the Vietnam war. He knew he was going to be drafted so he purposely signed up for the marines. I never knew why he chose that branch. I’m the youngest of my cousins so I never knew any details about his time stationed on the front lines. I do know that physically, other than some shrapnel wounds, he made it home safely of which I’m very thankful for. He went on to be a very well respected career police officer who is now retired. A big Thank You to all of our service men, service women, and first responders. God bless you all. <br>❤ 🤍 💙

  I graduated Parris Island in 1999. To date nothing in my career and nothing short of the birth of my children has ever compared to the joy I felt at earning the title Marine.

  As a Marine that served with my British brothers in arms, Brits are excellent war fighters , have amazing spirit and dedication but most of all have a courage that is unmatched. Once again as a US Marine I am so proud to call the British as well as the Canadian Armed forces my brothers and sisters. We are family!!
