Yes, Jim, we do! John has been in since '96..right out of high school! He's been to Okinawa with the Marines, Iraq twice and they called him to go to Afghanistan with the Army 'cause they didn't have enough Medics (he's a Corpsman like his dad was). But he came home from Afghanistan and received a Bronze Star! :) We're very proud of him. He's not down at Portsmouth Naval Hospital in VA (we spent Christmas with him and his family) and is a Chief Petty Officer. He has his Bachelor's Degree and is working on his Masters. It looks like he'll be heading for Japan soon. :(

You should be proud of his many accomplishments. Being a corpsman with the Marines is no easy job.
