and letters that he left for us! I think you have seen it, but have forgotten. Somehow, you look............taller!

And mommas always cry when one of their babies have to go away, no matter how old they might be! They were really proud of you, I know that! ILY,

I had just turned 17 when I went down and joined the Marines. My cousin was joining and since I was flunking all my classes, I joined too.

I remember the day clearly when I got on that train and headed for boot camp. Marine Boot camp was really an eye opener and getting through it was still one of my proudest accomplishments

Anything that requires that much blood, sweat and tears is much deserved to be remembered with a certain kind of awe and reverence.

I wouldn't give you five bucks for five more minutes of it though!
