"The Eagle, Globe and Anchor emblem has been part of the Marine Corps uniform since 1868 and became the official emblem of the Marine Corps in 1955. The eagle with spread wings represents our proud nation. The globe points to worldwide presence. The anchor stands for naval tradition. Together, they represent a dedication to service in the air, on land and at sea"
Today I found myself saying goodbye again. This time it is for my brothers girlfriend who is also leaving for Marine boot camp in Parris Island S.C. Good luck Mariah!
In november I get to take my first ride on a airplane. My big sister Jennifer bought me and my sister Elizabeth tickets to go see her in November. I can't wait!
My brother Jason recently left for Marine basic training in Parris Island SC. He will be gone for thirteen weeks, and our only means of communicating is snail mail.
