My dream

Sergeant John DePrimo

Lake Wales, FL

I can remember as a young boy I had two dreams; first I wanted to be a U.S. Marine, and I wanted to be a cop. I am so blessed beyond words that I am living out my boyhood dreams. I am so proud of my service and so grateful to have served as a U.S. Marine. I know I am a better man, husband and dad all because I chose to be a Marine. I am extremely proud of the job our Marines are doing in today's Marine Corps. I am especially proud of my son who is now serving with 1st Fast company. Once a Marine always a Marine, it's a fact. Thank you! Semper Fi
