Cheryl (Cheryl Snyder Griffin) from Canton, GA
Marine
and
Cheryl describes herself as a much-loved child of God, a wife, a mother, a dog lover
and a volunteer. When
she is not volunteering you can typically find her walking the dog, listening to music,
reading a book or
traveling with her husband to whom she has been happily married for most of her
life. Cheryl has two grown
children, both boys. Her oldest son lived in Japan and then Hungary where he
taught
English as a second
language for 4 years after graduating from college in 2014. A year later her
youngest
son, who is now a
veteran, joined the Marine Corps and served four years as a field radio operator.
During his active duty
service, he deployed twice. Currently, both of her children live within an hour of
Cheryl and her husband.
She thinks that is the perfect distance…it is close enough to visit often, but not
before calling first.
As a mom of two children who have “left the nest” and traveled the world, Cheryl
understands the feeling is
completely different when you’re a MoM. She remembers the angst she felt
numerous times while her
youngest was active duty. She recalls feeling like others outside of the military
lifestyle sometimes didn’t
understand her myriad of emotions when her youngest left for boot camp, went to
MCT, MOS, A PDS, and
deployments. MarineParents is where Cheryl spent time whenever she needed to
cry, vent, talk, listen or
learn. As a volunteer at heart Cheryl wants to help others who are riding the wave of
emotions that being a
family member of a Marine brings. She believes this is the place for her to do so.
