He Makes Me Proud

I just want to say God Bless to all the military and that I know it takes a special person with a special heart to become a Marine. The Marine Corps has done so much for my boyfriend's life. I am so proud of him for making it through as far as he has, I know that you all know how tough it is to stick it out. But he's done it and continues on everyday even better than before. Hes 23 years old and is a Sergeant attending Sergeant's Course only to better himself. For those of you who don't know, it is almost impossible to become a Sergeant at 23, or in 4 years of service, and it is still not good enough for Cody. But that's what the Marines do to you. They make you proud of yourself and strive to be better. It has made him a wonderful dad and an amazing man to me. He makes me proud. Thank you Unites States Marine Corps!
