Title: Home With Our New Marine
Post by: Russ C on October 15, 2011, 07:24:29 am

Thanks to all my family/friends here on the forum for all the thoughts/prayers and posts in the topic "We Have Arrived Parris Island SC". We are back home now. Arrived about 9:00pm EST last might with Cory, my son the new Marine. We had a fantastic it time in South Carolina and I am so very proud of him. I have never experienced anything like it, watching 528 young men marching in formation for the USMC graduation ceremony is just amazing and fantastic. Even more special when your son is one of them. I cannot put into words all the emotions and feelings I have experienced this past week. I guess now it is back to catching up on reading posts etc, oh and spending time with Cory for the next twenty days. :)

Thanks
Russ

FYI...as a Marine Grampa I have the marching song as my cellphone 'ringtone'...

"Semper Fidelis" by John Phillip Sousa!

Congrats to Cory and his mates!

AND God Bless every one of them!

Fine!!
Now you've got to reschedule your day: Breakfast at 5.00, lunch at 11.00 and dinner is replaced by an extra round of exercise ;D

Have a great time!

Just did a quick search and listened to the march, I've heard it many times and never knew it's name or the composer. Great March for our Great Marines.
Congratulations to Cory and Russ, have a great 20 days.
