The Only Choice


Sergeant Fred Volpe

Marietta, GA

Once a Marine, Always a Marine. I will always be proud of The Marine Corps and the opportunity I had to be a Marine. Being a Marine was being a good citizen and being a volunteer at a time when few wanted to volunteer. The valuable lessons I learned about life and about myself could not have been acquired anywhere but in Marine training. The things I've been able to accomplish in life could not have been done without the Marine lessons in honor, duty and courage. I am not intimidated by anything because I know that I can do whatever I am asked to do if I simply try. Semper Fi!
