Lance Corporal Robert Powers

Truckee, CA

I joined the United States Marine Corps as a way to get things straightened out in my life. I had no plans and the Marine Corps offered plenty. During my three years thus far in the Corps, I have traveled to Korea, Japan, and Thailand. Through these deployments I have been able to work with the rest of the world's military, all of whom look up to the United States Marine Corps as full of Honor, Courage and Commitment. I have been able to pass on knowledge that the Marine Corps has passed to me, to nations of the world with the same ideals, goals and interests as the United States. I feel honored to be a part of every moment with my brother and sister Marines and look forward to the many years to come.
