As we enter the 4th of July weekend I am beginning preparations to attend my daughters graduation from USMC OCS at Quantico. This will be my third trip to the place men and women train to serve their country. To say I am proud of my two Marine daughters is to only admit to obvious …. I lay awake many nights hoping, praying that they will not only be safe, but be the kind of leaders that can cut through the fog of their age and find clarity of purpose. …Our county is starting to foster, harbor and develop people who have no sense of country… concerned for themselves only. To have children who understand that it’s by sacrifice and laying aside a portion of their “individual ness” they can perhaps effect a great difference. Please pray for all our sons and daughters who have stepped out of their peer generation to place their lives on the line for all of us. God Bless them.
Prayers for your daughters, and congrats on your (youngest's?) graduation from OCS. :)
Welcome aboard from a mom of an Army daughter in Iraq. Congratulations on raising fine kids, God Bless you and your family.
God bless your daughters for their choice to serve, and bless you for raising such fine young women.
9.5 years for my son, lol. But he wants to go USAF.
I will pray for the safety of your girls, along with all the rest of our service people.
Oooorah!
Semper Fi Marines!

Congratulations and God Bless and Keep Your Two Marines!
The leaders of tomorrow will come from those of this generation who are serving now.
Semper Fi Dad!
Well Done.
Welcome aboard. God bless your two wonderful daughters and God Bless America.
Congrats. Are your daughters twins?
Be proud. By joining the U.S. military, they have joined America's finest and best. God Bless Them. They are watching our backs as we celebrate America's birthday.
Tell your daughters they will have my prayers and my deepest respect. Deepest.
To be in character, do not call it O C S.
To Marines, it is TBS ( The Basic School)
CONGRATULATIONS to your daughter.
