I initially joined the Marines to please my Dad... Then during bootcamp I soon forgot about my original reason for joining – it transformed me, into something different. Made me realize that it was about serving the platoon of people that you’ve grown to love – serving them as much as serving your country. It's kinda surprising how strongly you can bond with a group of strangers. That bond is a powerful thing – almost impossible to find in the civilian world. #HappyVeteransDay #shwannstyle
