US Marine Corps

It's in me, that's all I can say.

"Yes Mam" and "Yes Sir" fly off my tongue all the time. I can't help it. Often I have been corrected by my peers, asking me to not say it. I can't help it. I was raised by 2 Marines.

My mother and father both served in the Marine Corps during World War II. It affected their lives, and how they raised us as children. I will be displaying a picture of my parents this Sunday -- my mother in her dress whites, my father in his dress blues on their wedding day.

I have a deep respect for members all branches of the military, and a special place in my heart for Marines. I hope to see you this Sunday as we celebrate the birthday of the Marine Corps and Veterans Day at St. Clement's!
