Lori (Lori Cuevas Ballard) from Hope Mills, NC
Marine
and
Lori is a 1st-grade teacher and a mother of three children. She currently lives in the
beautiful state of North Carolina. Her middle child (a son) is a Marine. When her
Marine was in middle school he said he wanted to join the military. While in High
School he chose the Marines. She was shocked he chose Marines because they
live in a military town for the army. Her son told her he wanted to be “the best of the
best” and chose the Marines.
When her son was preparing for boot camp she had very little information. Her son
gave her the website of Recruitparents.com, which he had gotten from his recruiter.
This site was her lifeline. She had seen where she could volunteer but her son had
to graduate from boot camp first. Four weeks after leaving for boot camp her son
ended up in STC-MRP due to an injury. She was directed to the Support BTN
Facebook page which helped her through it all. After receiving all the support from
Marineparents.com she was ready to pay it forward and jumped at the chance to
help others.
