IN SERVICE SINCE 2003

MarineParents.com has been a lifeline for our family. Today I give thanks for the knowledge, patience, and love that this organization has given to my new Marine family.

I am very proud of my son, and very proud of all who serve. I like having Marine Parents so that we are all in this together. The information is very useful and accurate.

The recruiter told me about MarineParents.com. They helped answer my questions that were specific to my daughter and females in training. I was so grateful for help easing my anxiety as she started boot camp!

I don't know how to put it in words [how] tremendously helpful [your volunteers were] all throughout Boot Camp and now MCT. You were my daily shoulder to carry me through it all.

I read the paper from [the founder] Tracy yesterday, the day my son left for boot camp. It helped me tremendously to get through the night. I’m new to all of this, but a proud
mom.

I just want to say thanks for these packages you've sent. I've been giving out your literature to families of poolees about to ship. They answered that it helps them out a lot. So thank you guys for what you're doing.

I am respectfully requesting more presentation folders, they are absolutely amazing, full of information, and beneficial to the parents. I appreciate you helping out the families and keeping them involved.

First, it is outstanding that you have created a network so extensive and so helpful to everyone joining; it makes the parents feel at ease. Thank you for continuing to make our lives in the recruiting world easier. Second, this is a great tool to be able to use to provide parents with something to turn to while their children are at training and
beyond.

I feel more pride, more compassion, more respect...for my son. Being here on this site has been the difference. I read how all the other parents have gone [through] and are going through this change and I find that I'm gaining strength through these very people. We are all in this together and I'm very happy about that. I hope that you find the peace and comfort that I have found here with MarineParents.com.

This site, along with the Matrix, have been such an encouragement to me. Having a daily glimpse into what my son is doing each day has helped me know how to pray, what to ask him about in daily letters and to just learn and appreciate the true calling that serving in the Marine Corps is. Thank you so much!

Your kind and thoughtful note is the boost of light I needed at this moment. Thank you very much. I feel that we were meant to connect, as one Marine Mom to another.

Thanks to this organization and volunteers for keeping me informed every step of the way. I will forever feel such gratitude. During the difficult times, I felt like I wasn't alone.

When I was going through papers I found the Marine Parents pamphlet. I didn't really know much about the Marines. It helped me to see other parents going through the same emotions.

Your volunteers were so helpful at keeping us updated about things and what to expect. Since then it has been a great place to connect and share. MarineParents.com is the first resource I give new recruit parents.

Thank you for the welcoming newsletter. I now feel as if I am a part of him on this journey instead of away from him.

Every post has brought me comfort.

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you at Marine Parents during this difficult time of our son's deployment. Thank you for all the time spent and those who volunteer to make this possible. Once again, thank you from us and from my son.

Thank you for all of the information supplied to us when our son left for boot camp. I feel like my life has been turned upside down. I have read over the material several times and it helps to know I am not alone.
