Carl, our prayers are certainly with you, your family and your sons who serve this country so proudly, most especially Brandon as he faces this duty overseas.
I noticed the Marine Corps behind the lovely young girl and remembered something I'd read once that Ronald Regan said....
"Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if they have ever made a difference in the world, but the Marines don't have that problem."
I know my children sleep safe in their beds tonight because of the men (and women) who serve as Brandon is doing to ensure that safety....god bless him and keep him safe always.
