While the country will gain from their service, so will they grow in wisdom and stature.
You must be so very proud and rightfully so.
Congratulations!
Oo-rah from this Hoo-ah!
My brother is a retired Marine, Force Recon; I am an Army veteran. God bless!
Job well done. Congratulations and best of luck to your sons.
God Bless both of them !!
Their Mom and Pop too!
Right across from boot camp is Old Town San Diego. If you go down there, there are a couple of motels there and you can walk the old buildings and good restaurants. When our son had the graduation ceremony we all went over to Old Town to eat. Right across the Freeway Old Town exit.
San Diego has a world class zoo and a wild animal park where the animals roam outside over large grasslands. I don’t recommend Mexico.
If your sons wind up at Pendleton and want to rent in oceanside, I can help them find something. just freep mail me. We are realtors and don’t do rentals, but we would help them for free.
Congratulations you just be so proud.
Our son applied for Marine Security Guard and did two 15-month tours at two different embassies.
I remember when my 18 year old son left for Basic in 2005. I cried and cried all day. He was joining the Infantry, which meant he would be seeing active duty in either Iraq or Afghanistan. Thank the good Lord he came home safely.

Please thank them for their service and sacrifice for our country.
That’s an idiotic thing to say.
Two of your jobs are very well done, sir.
You sent boys. I don't think you're going to believe what you'll get back. If you think you're proud now...
My late father went through there in 1943. Good luck to both of them.
God bless you and your wife for raising godly sons! Thought of this...
PSALM 127
A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.
Unless the Lord builds the house,
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the watchman stays awake in vain.
It is in vain that you rise up early
and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious toil;
for he gives to his beloved sleep.
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
the fruit of the womb a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
are the children of one’s youth.
Blessed is the man
who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame
when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.
Congratulations! The best advice on boot camp I ever heard was “it’s not personal. It’s training.”
Thank you for raising MEN.
The journey begins on yellow foot prints.
Semper Fi to a Marine family.
That is awesome, congratulations!
Congratulations! Well done!
Prayers for your boys and their safe service.
