I thought I would share this w/all of you..
This is Joe,Jr w/his lovely wife Danielle(and other pictures) at the 2010 Marine Corp Ball in Okinawa Japan. Joe was ask to be in the ceremony which made his mother & I very proud to know he's involved in something he loves & was asked to be one of the few who were picked to be in the ceremony.
In the 4th picture down Joe is the middle Marine w/his hands locked together...joe
Awesome, Y'all have every reason to be proud, Joe.
We need more young men like Joe Jr.
May his life be a blessed and successful one.
God Bless our Troops !
P.S. don't know what Y'all been feeding him but he is definitely "full grown" !
Great job Joe !!!! May God keep you safe and blessed..;)

Tell your daughter & boy friend if they decide to go into the Marines be prepared for the hardest thing they have ever done in their lives & good luck to both of them for stepping up to do something that takes BIGG BALLS to do along w/a lot of guts...joe
Yes!!! she is.. I think she took after me with that.. LOL**)Quote:

I went over that with both of them.. They are gone for sure.. It's the same with them in ROTC with their Captain.. My little girl is a very strong will person.. She wants to try anything that someone say's she can't do.. I think she would out last me in the marines.. She is very tuff.. And as far as her boy friend.. He's one he** of a man already for being able to put up with her.. My hat's off to him.. And I think he would be a he** of a marine.. He already has the heart of a marine..;)Quote:

I wear my ARMY Tee Shirts when it's warm and we go to the City. People come up to me and asked if I'm in the Army? I say know but I was and I have family members that are serving. I always end up in conversation with a Veteran if he has anything that shows that he or she was in the Service. I'm Proud that I served even if it was State side and I've told on this site several times that my brother was in Viet Nam and died when he was 62 plus all five of us brothers served.
You're Son and his Wife look very happy. Thanks for posting the pictures.
Also hope your Wife is doing ok.

Nice pictures from both of you guys. My brother was telling me the Army is changing it's dress uniform from olive green to navy blue. He wasn't too happy about it, but personally I do prefer blue!
Thank them for their service from me.
It's good to be a proud Father you have bragging rights. My son just got back to Okinawa last week also in the Marine Corp. He is stationed on board ship right now seeing the sights of the world. I couldn't be prouder of these young men, being a Vet myself I know what is expected of them. They deserve their Honor, our respect and everyones THANKS for what they offer!
