To all Marines, past and present, Happy Birthday!

As many probably know, I served seven years in the United States Marines.  It was an experience of a lifetime and a time I will always cherish and never forget.  I learned discipline and I learned what strength in a team really means.  I learned the importance of trust and I learned what it means to rely on someone else like a brother or a sister.  I am still in contact with many of the Marines I met throughout those years and even though I am not in contact with them daily I would trust every one of them with my life.

I pray for all of the Marines out there fighting for our country.

I also want to give out a special recognition to my godson Brandon Zapata who was the best little Marine out there.  We pray for you buddy and we miss you.
