Sam & Matt as Marine Recruits

We are so proud of Sam and Matt for their willingness to serve and protect our country. This is something they've both considered long and hard. It was not a quick decision for either of them.

Sam especially has shown keen interest in the US military since he was a little tyke. One of his favorite things to do was draw flags, soldiers and battle scenes.

Their younger brother, John, was the first to enlist in the ROTC program through college, then Matt, then Sam.

Matt had the misfortune of breaking a foot during a three mile run, then breaking it once again later on during basic training. His dream still is to be a Marine.

We are proud of all of our servicemen and women who invest their time, skill and years of their lives to see that we live in a safe United States of America.
