Marine Corps Day

Today is US Marine Corps Day. I salute all of the brave men and women serving in the Marines for their dedication and perseverance in their duty to make the world a safer place. They may be few, but it is evident that they are rightfully proud of what they do each and every day.
I would particularly like to thank my "second son" Phillip Vargas, who completed Marine Corps boot camp at Parris Island last week. He is on his way to a wonderful career, and I know I sleep better at night knowing that my security will be, at least in part, in his hands.
Thank you Phillip, and Thank You to every other US Marine. You are truly heroes.
