My Story


Lance Corporal Michael Norlin

Gresham, OR

I enlisted almost a year ago, my father was a marine in the airwing during vietnam, my stepbrother a recon marine that got out when I enlisted. I was going to college and my best friend joined when I decided I was going to follow the family tradition and enlist. I am very glad I did, i feel so much pride for the Marine Corps and my country. I see why people say the Marines are the best, because we train the hardest and longest, also we do not give up.
