It's not quite a quiver full, but it's a start!

Semper Fidelis; Always Faithful for 236yrs








It begins with a single step...the culmination of a dream...
           a journey of honor, of freedom, of sacrifice...




     

into the unknown...where few have gone before...
where few will follow after...



                                                                                                                                                                                                                             leaving those you love...          to defend those you will never meet...      to protect the rights of those who will trample on them...



        sacrificing the moments others take forgranted...missing out on the memories you will never get to make...losing a piece of who you are...hoping in the end you survive with even a small part of the life you had before...                                                             


hoping that in the end you are one of the lucky ones...in the end blessed with only losing most...in the end praying you're not the one to give it all...
OORAH! 

Happy Birthday, Marines! And thank you to all the Marines in my life I love and to those I have never met who still choose to seve. Thank you for blessing my family 
with your strength, with your service.
