I know the pride you are feeling. I felt the same exact feeling when my son became a Marine. He was 18 and so young looking back. The day of his graduation was one of the happiest days of my life. Did he graduate from Pendelton or Parris Island?

Congratulations and best wishes — to him AND to you! And prayers for well-being and good leadership.

I cannot even pretend to know the feeling of pride you as a parent must have knowing that your child has achieved the lofty goal of becoming a United States Marine. Congratulations to him and to you, and may God Bless you both.

Congrats! My brother just retired from the Marines. Oo-rah!

[Fast Moving Angel]

Congrats to both of you - and please thank him for his service and our freedom!

[MacMattico]

Congratulations and prayers for your son.

I was in 6th grade when we went and watched my brother graduate from Parris Island. He was a much nicer brother when he came home! More respectful and mature but still a lot of fun. And he didn't treat me like his lame little sister anymore!

[GGpaX4DumpedTea]

I too am a proud Marine father. My son served 8 years in the Corp on active duty. I consider him a Marine...yesterday, today and forever. My blessings to you...Be Proud. He deserves it!

[Marine_Uncle]

Congrats to you dad for raising a son who was willing to go through the rigors of Marine Corps. training.
As a close uncle to a nephew years back. The eyes did get a bit wet, standing in the bleachers at Parris Island.
Now your son is a member of the Few, the Proud, the United States Marines.
God's Almighty hands be upon him in the years to come.

[onyx]

I hope your proud US Marine son reads your wonderful tribute to him!

God bless you and keep you, dearest ottbmare.

I will keep him in my prayers. I promise. My eldest grandson remarkably changed on the day he became a US Marine! I pray for him too.

Semper Fi.

God bless and keep your magnificent son.

[MestaMachine]

Bless you and your Marine son and thank you for rearing the next generation of heroes,
Semper Fi.

[llevrok]

My late father was a Marine. He was proud of that from 1943 go the day he died. May your son carry the same pride for the rest of his life.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Congratulation to you all!

I have always admired and respected our Great Military.

God Bless!
