He wasn’t a Marine, never in the military. He is a Fire Fighter/EMT who worked hard to get there and I’m proud to say he is family.
You must be very proud. Headline read Marine and the header at the link says "ex-Marine" (of which there are none). One way or the other, he is a great American. Send along my thanks for his valor.
Thanks for the info. I was trying to find a news article to confirm pic headline and get further info, but couldn’t find it. Maybe ‘cause I was searching on Marine! Marine or not, great job your family member did!
