The recruits -- some traveled 100 miles to the Monster Park football field -- enlisted through the 364th Recruiting Squadron out of Sacramento, Calif.
The annual swear-in started in 2004, when 49ers entertainment director Lorie Murphy jumped at the chance to beef up the team’s Military Appreciation Game halftime show.
“The crowd response was overwhelming,” Ms. Murphy said. “The event captivated the entire halftime show -– the response was as loud as when the team scores a game-winning touchdown.” ...

Why do stories like this make my eyes water and put a huge lump in my throat? God bless them. We are so lucky to have been born here and to live in such a wonderful country.

I sure didn't expect to see this in SF of all places. This was my favorite part of the article.
"The applause and standing ovations from the crowd made me very happy,” he said. “The crowd was completely supportive.” "

Marines? My son is Air Force and one of his best friends that he grew up with is a Marine. On the very, rare occasion they are both home on leave at the same time, they keep me in stitches picking on each other.
