Congratulations My youngest now serves in the US marine Corps, I've served may brother cousin and uncles served. IT time to be proud of this young man you raised to make this decision few do and do to those few we are free. There is many places for you to find support and comfort of whats going on in his life as it now changes. In the marines it's called marines moms or something like that being being single parent I chatted with allot of them and I used that support. And again congratulation to you for raising a fine young man and for him to be welling to protect my back. simpa phi Mom
