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.
Congratulations for this wonderful achievment. We just left our nephew for I-Day at the Naval Academy on Wednesday.
Best of luck.
Congrats! You should be very proud.
Congratulations. My daughter's boyfriend will be attending the Citadel and wants to be a marine officer.
Congratulations to your daughter, and second, to you, for raising an outstanding "soon to be Marine!"
Semper Fidelis,
Mark A. Schallow

Congtatulations!! I attended the OCS graduation of my son and know how proud you must be. My warrior son has almost 17 years in the US Army now and is stateside at the moment.
I salute ALL our military for the patriots that they are.
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO EVERYONE!!
CONGRATULATIONS, I meant to say....sorry...!!
Semper Fi to your future officers!
Now they begin their professional development.
If you think you are proud now ....
Once a Marine, always a Marine.
Congratulations to the DadofTwoMarines!!! Congratulations to them, as well! Welcome to the family, from a wife of a USNA grad turned USMC/Naval Aviator. Oo-Rah!
May peace attend their way.
