In January, we tearfully said good-bye to my great nephew when he left for Parris Island and became Recruit Allen Brian, 1RTBN PLT 1028 Co C.
Nearly 13 weeks to earn the title, US Marine.
We were honored and proud to witness the transformation and celebrate with him and hundreds of others at the Charlie and Papa Companies Family Week & Graduation, Parris Island.
Here's a few of the pictures we took.
