MCRD, Marine Corp Recruit Depot in San Diego, CA is the facility where our United States Marines are built by completing a grueling 12 week intense training course, better known to all of us as BOOT CAMP. My nephew, Christopher was one of the 479 graduating recruits on this Friday, April 3, 2009. The ceremony started off at 10am to the sounds of the USMC band, with the sun shining beautifully. As the recruits came marching out in compete sync, it reminded me of what a great country we live in and how proud I was of ALL the men and women who serve our beautiful country, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Week after week, hundreds of graduates walk on that pavement and become US Marines. Let’s all take our hats off in celebration of those who have served in ANY of our armed forces, past or present. Thank you all for choosing such an honorable job. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all.
