I have it on my LinkedIn, but wanted to post it here as well. I was awarded with a Certificate of Commendation, otherwise known as a #CERTCOM, for my excellent management and problem solving of my section which was proven by the first passing biannual review score my section had in years at the time. #USMC

The #USMC MIM-23 Hawk missile battalion sent to #SouthVietnam on #ThisDayInHistory in 1965 was the first combat unit sent without the lie of an 'advisory' or 'training' rôle. The US's mission in the #VietnamWar was, according to the gov's own analysis, an offensive imperial war.

Proud doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel standing next to this young man. Watching him step into the uniform of a United States Marine fills my heart with honor, pride, and an overwhelming sense of gratitude. It’s not just a uniform it’s a symbol of commitment, sacrifice, and an unwavering dedication to something greater than oneself. This moment, right here, will stay with me forever. Semper Fi, son. 🇺🇸❤️🦅 #ProudMarineDad #USMC #SemperFi #FamilyOfTheBrave #HonorCourageCommitment
