Luke graduated from Marine Corps Boot Camp on Sept. 4, 2009. He is now stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC. Matthew graduated from Marine Corps Boot Camp on Feb. 12, 2010. We were very fortunate that Luke was able to fly over to Parris Island, SC to attend the graduation. After that, we all drove home to Evansville together to spend the week at home. Lindi was so glad to have her brothers here for a while that she even gave up her big bedroom for them!
On Saturday, Luke boarded a plane to head back to base and get back to work...his leave is over for now. On Monday, Matt jumped on a plane to head to his next destination...which happens to be in North Carolina...right around the corner from where Luke is. It looks like Matt will be there for about 6 weeks, occasionally getting to hang out with his little brother (by 2 minutes). We've gotten phone calls and texts, making this separation a little easier than boot camp. It's been nice to see how the experiences of the Marine Corps have given the boys yet another bond in their lives. It is said that Marines are brothers! The mom of another Marine said to me the other day "your boys are double brothers!" I'm glad they're 2gether again....in more ways than you know.
Good To Go,
Proud Marine Mom
How neat!!!!! I'm so appreciative of the decision your boys have made to serve our country! I can tell you are proud too...as you should be.
