I left for Parris Island 11 Years Ago Today
It was July 27, 1998 and I wanted to see what the world had to offer. I left my hometown and took a bus to Parris Island; Marine Corp Recruit Depot for the East Coast. Three months later I dawned a uniform and the title of United States Marine. I learned several things during my time in the service and many of those things stick with me today. The trait that I value the most is that of tenacity. NEVER GIVE UP under any circumstance. I believe this will continue to help me through the next 30 years.

I don’t tweet and can’t figure a twitter, but I think it’s pretty cool to be able to follow your twitten bread crumbs, on your way back to Paradise. I am having a T made that reads… NEVER GIVE UP, in honor of your tenacity. It could work for me, also. Glad you got home safe. Annie
