This short story was more of a letter from a son to a mom and was very inspiring. In his note he expresses that though his mother disagrees but the life that he has chosen is the life he wants, this is the only life for him and that is to serve his country. I have nothing bad that I can say about his story. And the last words I have to say are Semper Fi, and oorah.

Gods grace and speed to you and your marine brethren.
