What a compelling photo....I couldn't agree with you more, my son also graduated from Paris Island in 1999. Congrats on the Win, Hope to see many more.

Congratulations Sherri. This is such a great portrait and it evokes so much emotion. My son graduated from Parris Island in January 2005. It is overwhelming how much the Marines can change a young man.
