***THEY'RE LEAVING***

***They’re Leaving***

They’re Joining The United States Marine Corps

Our children are so precious to us.  We want the best

for them always.

We try to protect them from hurt, harm and danger in

this world but sometimes we just can’t protect them.

We watch them grow up from being and infant and reach

adulthood.  We watch them attend kindergarten through

high school.  Some of them will continue on with their

education to go to college and some to grad school.

These achievements we are happy to witness.  Our hearts

rejoice because of these achievements.  Our children then

decide they want to go a step further.  The want to join the

U.S. Marine Corps.

Their father is a Marine and now they want to be a Marine

like him.  The happiness and joy now turns to love, support

and concern.

You support their decision but you have that concern for their

safety/welfare.  They are your children and you want them to

be happy in this next step that they have taken by showing your

support for them.

The concern for your children will always be there.  Now is the

time to put your complete faith and trust in God.  They will be safe.
