I am the proud mother of a Marine! No mother could ever be so proud and scared of my daughter ! The bravest woman I have ever seen. So not the standard. They would call her, "the hippy Marine". Not so much now, she would call me, why Mom?,
She went on to gain rainks most men will never conceive!
You will never see this, but No One on this day could love you more for service to a country who could care less about one of their own.
