The beginning of a new chapter....
My son shipped out for Parris Island on Aug 22nd. It is the weirdest feeling. Excitment, pride, fear, sadness, happiness, anxiety all rolled into one. The thought of him moving on to become a man, a soldier is now reality.

Swearing In & Headed to Boot Camp
It's been a week since my 20 year old son swore in to be a Marine and headed to boot camp. Haven't heard any news yet, but I am sure that he is very busy and I hope to hear from him soon. Watching him swear in was a very moving moment for me.
