A few years ago, my brother became a full fledged Marine. I went to his graduation from bootcamp, and I could not express how proud of him I was. I was so happy for him. My family and I dreaded the day that he was to be sent to war, but we knew it was only a matter of time. Awhile goes by and he had not been sent yet, for reasons I wont disclose, making my family very happy.  However, this blessing soon ended and he was sent. We have been extremely worried about him and my mom sent him letters multiple times in a single week, along with presents. The military even had him during christmas time, so he was not able to celebrate with us.

After a year, he is finally home! We are ecstatic  and cant wait for him to make his way down from NC. We even kept the Christmas tree up so we can have our real Christmas this month.
