I'm the daughter of a Marine and was born at Camp Pendleton. My father had a 31-year career and served in WWII (fighter pilot in South Pacific), Korea, and Vietnam. My son served for four years, which included two deployments to Iraq.

“You cannot exaggerate about the Marines. They are convinced to the point of arrogance, that they are the most ferocious fighters on earth – and the amusing thing about it is that they are.”

~Kevin Keaney

“The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps! ”

~Eleanor Roosevelt
