After an Honorable Discharge from the Marines I kicked around a bit. Then I married and had two boys. My wife and I struggled to make ends meet. I was at my wits end. Things were very tough. One morning as I was shaving and looking in the mirror it came to me that I was a Marine. It was like a shot of adrenalin. I was determined to not to be defeated by my circumstances. Using every nickle of my Vet benefits I earned a College Degree in 4 years. (got my GED while in the Marines)then taught school for 15 years. When my sons graduated from High School I went on to get my Masters. Hey, I'm an old guy now have have accomplished much thanks to my Marine training and my Faith...
