We were seated in a reserved section of the bleachers since we were the parents of an honor graduate.
He marches by us and fortunately Hubs snapped this picture of esteem.
The sky opened with wind and rain soon after this photo. Everyone starts scattering so they dismiss the Marines as our new USA Marines.
The plans were for him to graduate in the front row. However, the honor grads were honored in a small roofed area by the Brigadier General of Parris Island.
Life does have its changes and things do not go as planned.
We had a few setbacks but we were thrilled to bring our son home as a Marine!

Congratulations Kim. What an honor to be the mother of a Marine. Have a nice day.
That is so wonderful. Congratulations. You must be very proud.
Congratulations! What a huge honor! Now remember once a Marine always a Marine! And the same goes for mom's. You will be shocked how quickly you gather Marine all kinds of Marine paraphernalia!
Awesome, Kim! I know just how you feel. Our son graduated from boot camp a few years ago, and now he's on the USS Enterprise. They were just involved in trying to rescue the hostages of the Somali pirates, which ended sadly for the hostages...
Congrats!!! Glad he made it through the crucible!!! My husband was/is a Marine reserve and he said that was tough!!! :)
Congratulations!! That is so fantastic!! Good for him!!

Wow Kim, congratulations to the new Marine and your family.
Congratulations on our new Marine!
How proud you must be! I'm reminded of that old ad that used to run on T.V. It went something like "The Few, The Proud, The Marines". From a boy to a man in such a short space of time. But we know thay will always be our little boys!
Great picture of your son, Kim... I know you are VERY proud of him...
Hugs,
Betsy
