Here is a great story about our next door neighbor's son.

Keith is really a good person, I've known him since he was 10. When he was 16 we tursted him to watch our daughters when LOML would run to the supermarket. When he was 18 and 9/11 happened he signed up with the marines to help protect our country.

His tour is about up and is expected home in a couple of weeks. I couldn't be prouder of him if he was my own son.

Thanks for looking, I hope this will not offend anyone.

Oohrah! That is a great story, Ron. Good for him.

How could anyone be offended by a story about one of our Marines? [?][]

Semper Fi!

Ron, great story and I don't see why anyone would be offended by a young man learing another language and culture.

Keith is the type of American that makes us all proud.
Ron....I imagine you'll have a great pen waiting for him. Maybe a design using the culture?

Ron,
His parents and you have every reason to be proud! Sounds like a heck of a kid. When he gets home, please thank him for being a great "front line ambassador" for us!

Fantastic young American... one that deserves all the praise we can heap on him...
Please pass on our pride in this young man to his family... and thank him for the time he is giving our country.
I remember being overseas and trying to learn enough of the language to be understood... not an easy task for a kid who spoke Bronxese.. BTW... even after 3 tours I still did not learn enough...
This man has a lot to be proud about...

Thanks Ron,

It's always nice to see the better side of our troops. Hope he comes home safe!

Thanks for the thumbs up everyone.

Ron Mc:
Great Idea! I should have thought of that myself. I have no clue how I would get the Marines logo (in color) on a pen, but I remember seeing a pen with an American Flag. Maybe that is the direction I will go.

That is one young man to be proud of. Thank you for sharing.

Maybe you can drop a line to YoYospin. I think he might have a way. IIRC, Ed is an old Marine from Force Recon.

Great story Ron, thanks for sharing! Nice to read something pleasant, other than all the things the news brings us. God Bless him and the Marines!
