He was surrounded by love and support from his grandparents, parents, brother, and girlfriend. All of us present to honor his discipline, perseverance, and commitment. Seeing him cross that threshold reminded us that this achievement was built on years of effort, resilience, and unwavering determination. This experience strengthened our family bond and reaffirmed the values of service, sacrifice, and honor. We are incredibly proud of the man he has become and deeply grateful for the opportunity to witness such a meaningful milestone in his life.

THANK YOU!!! With your assistance, we were able to attend our daughter's graduation the day before Thanksgiving. We did get there in time for Family Day, and let me tell you.... the tears that flowed that day seemed never-ending. The emotional roller coaster I had been on for the last 13 weeks didn't stop when I got to embrace my only daughter, my Marine! To say her father and I are proud is an understatement. We have had a tough last couple of years, as I had my last immunotherapy treatment on 8/22/25 for stage 3 Melanoma, so I had already not been working regular hours, which is really difficult, and my husband and I are both self-employed. This program provided us with the assistance we needed when we needed it the most. I can't imagine not being there in person for my daughter, so THANK YOU! God Bless!

The experience was amazing; it was the most emotional thing I've ever felt with my son, in the honor he showed, and how proud he was of what he did and becoming a Marine. I've seen my son do so many amazing things, from always staying on the honor roll to being in MCJROTC and becoming Sargent Major of the program. Still, nothing compares to the emotional feelings of the hug at family day after not seeing him for 13 weeks. I'm so very proud and honored to be a Marine mom. He's more responsible, has a better idea that budgeting is essential, and is just overall amazing. I appreciate the help. My other son is graduating from the army in 3 weeks, and having two sons serving our country is an indescribable feeling. Proud proud proud. Having a Marine son is such an honor.

Our son was in boot for 5.5 months, because he had a stress fracture of his leg from the knee down. I was chomping at the bit to see him. When I spotted him, tears of joy ran down my face. My son, who is not a hugger, hugged us hard! We could tell he dropped weight and gained a great deal of muscle in his cammies, but when I first caught a glimpse of his Charlie's, I could not believe the transformation! Both in appearance and character. He now has a direction, a mission, and a brotherhood. Thank you for making this possible. With my husband's double transplant and my mobility and medical issues, funds are tight. You made this miracle happen.

We are beyond grateful for the Marine Parents' assistance in our travel costs for this trip!

As a veteran myself (Navy and Army), I know how important it is to have your family's support throughout boot camp, but particularly during the celebrations. PS - The hug I (dad) got from the kid who rarely hugs will be one I cherish the rest of my days.

I am a single mom and just had my spine rebuilt again, with multiple surgeries throughout the time my son was in boot camp. Having medical issues creates tremendous hardship, so the opportunity to see him graduate in person was the biggest blessing. It is one we will never forget. Marine Parents helped every step of the way from the moment my son left the recruiting office. They helped prepare us with information and armed us with knowledge by sharing their experience and offering advice. They helped connect us with support from fellow families, which is truly invaluable. Though my father is a Vietnam Marine era veteran, having that recent experience from other parents was so crucial in getting through those 13 weeks. The travel assistance is such a tremendous program and assists those who would not be able to go otherwise. Thank you to everyone who volunteers and donates, be it your time or financial resources, to help parents on this challenging yet beautiful journey. Thank you for all that you do.

I can't thank MPTA enough for providing me with travel assistance to my son's Marine Bootcamp Graduation on June 27, 2025, from Echo Co. 2nd Battalion. Plt. 2038. It was a true blessing to see my son stand before me as a United States Marine. Experiencing all that both Family Day and Graduation Day had to offer was truly a Godsend. The long drive home (10+ hours) afforded me the opportunity to catch up with my son, hearing about his amazing experiences as I held his arm and told him how much I missed him. Even watching him sleep as he began his 10-day leave was a treasured moment. The memories of those days are invaluable, and it's all due to the generosity of MPTA. Thank you again for making this possible.

With the assistance of MPTA, I was able to coordinate our travel from Lafayette, Indiana, to San Diego, and my Marine's twin brother joined me for Family Day and Graduation. To see my son become a U.S. Marine was the proudest moment of my life. My twins were miracle babies, and no one could have imagined when they were born in 2005 that our "firstborn" twin would remain as strong and determined as he was at birth. The support of MPTA was tremendous, making a trip of a lifetime possible! My Marine proudly joins his grandfather, WW-11, and great-grandfather, WW-1, in serving our nation.

I would like to thank Marine Parents for the generous award which was given to me to be able to travel to my daughter’s family day and graduation, traveling from Puerto Rico to Parris Island. I have been raising my children as a divorced parent and then alone since their father passed three years ago, and I am still raising my teenage son, who is at home and in high school. I would not have been able to afford the two plane tickets, and hotel stay without receiving this assistance for my trip. More than likely, I would have had to fly alone and somehow leave my other child behind or not travel, but we were both there, thanks to you! I want to share with other parents the pride and honor you experience attending these activities. Having not seen my Marine child for 12 weeks with limited contact by mail, it was an overwhelming joy to see her finally. I felt pride and awe to see her in uniform and the amazing formation during the graduation. Thank you again, Marine Parents, and I hope to someday be able to give back so that other families don’t have to miss this important milestone in their family members’ lives.

The smile on my son's face will stay with me forever! On family day, I lost my driver's license, so I was unsure if I could get on base for graduation. We were all worried about this. The next day came, and we got to the base and entered the check line. The first thing we were told was to please get out of our vehicles and only take our driver's licenses. I was scared I'd be turned away. I had my driver's license on my phone and asked if they could accept that as my form of ID. The gentleman said yes, ma'am, please go and get it so I can get you through to see your son graduate today! Melted my heart, I started balling like a baby. I walked around the entire base the day prior, trying to find my ID or someone to give me a little hope that I could get on without it. I never found either. I was told they would make no accommodations for my situation and would not be welcomed on base without my physical ID. I am still with my Marine and couldn't be happier. Thank you so much for making it possible to show up and be present for him.

I am a single father of 4 kids, with two still in grade school and my oldest joining the Marines in August. The timing wasn’t good for me to be able to pay for the airline tickets, let alone car rental and, most of all, hotel stay to be able to go to Family Day and graduation. This travel grant allowed my new Marine son to be the reason I overcame my fears of flying and heights and got on my first flight to see him finish his path to becoming a new Marine. I am so proud of him that I am crying. I am humbled to be given this assistance. Thank You, Marine Parents!

I would not have gotten this experience if it weren't for Marine Parents Travel Assistance! I was the only one who could make the trip to these events.

I never missed a school event or award assembly and attended all his ROTC and football games. I didn’t want to miss graduation for the career he wanted since he was a kid. Thank you guys so much.

Seeing all that my Marine is becoming and all that he has already accomplished-- it was that little spark that our family needed.

Thank you Marine Parents travel assistance! My son prayed God would find a way for us to be at graduation and he did through Marine Parents. We were able to be there for him and make him the happiest Marine ever. My mentally challenged son hasn't smiled so big since his brother left. It made him feel whole again. Our hearts were filled with joy. My Marine also received extra days to be with us for Christmas and help with my upcoming surgery. My son said God bless you all for all your hard work and dedication to the Marines and families. It meant so much to him to see us. He spotted us when we first walked toward him and felt like he was whole again. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts! It felt like our family received life again once he was with us. God bless and as always, Semper Fi.

My daughter began her journey as a recruit in June and graduated on September 01, 2023, as a Marine. She was originally assigned to San Diego. This was close to home and every available family member planned on attending. Surprisingly, on the day of her departure, she was moved to Parris Island. This changed everything as no one would be able to afford the travel. The expense was going to be a challenge for us also because we are a one-income family with little extra.

This hug is my absolute favorite picture of my life! Circumstances changed surrounding graduation and leave several times due to an injury. In the end, my Marine graduated and we ended up getting to spend the weekend together in Beaufort. He was not able to come home for leave due to the injury but the travel assistance helped so much since we were faced with extra days of food and lodging that were totally unexpected. I cannot thank you all enough for easing the burden a little! Thank you!

I am profoundly grateful for the Marine Parents Travel Assistance program! I had a difficult year of loss, and travel was already carefully budgeted. Then, I realized we had gotten our travel dates wrong --graduation day changed since it was so close to the holidays-- and the family member I planned to drive down with couldn't make it with the new date. I wound up having to fly last minute, days before a major holiday. But I made it! It meant the world to be there for my Marine on Family Day. Watching him graduate as a US Marine is a day I will never forget. Thank you!

We now see the remarkable path he has chosen as a Marine. He took the words I told him and applied them and I know that he's going to go far with his career. That just makes me so proud because any cycle can be broken as long as you're strong enough. Thank you.

Financially we were worried we would not be able to make the trip. We are so very thankful for the help from the Marine Parents Travel Assistance program.

I was in total awe of the events. When the newly minted Marines marched out on the parade deck the hair stood up on the back of my neck. After 13 weeks of wondering and worrying and all of a sudden, it all made sense. The pride. The overwhelming feeling of success for my child, who became SO proud of HIMSELF as a part of this process. It saved him. It is his thing now, his purpose and I am forever grateful. Semper Fi!

I’ve written and rewritten this several times trying to find the words to express the gratitude and love that is felt for the opportunity your organization gave me to attend my son's graduation from MCRD San Diego. Without your help, this momma would have missed one of the most beautiful, symbolic moments of my son's life. Thank you just doesn’t adequately express my emotions. My son has talked of serving his country since he was a small boy, becoming a Marine was his dream. Mine has always been to see my little boys become honorable strong young men who make a difference in this crazy world we live in. Your generosity made this moment a reality. To be present at this moment, witnessing him living out those dreams, was one of the proudest humbling moments of my life. I will forever be honored and beyond grateful. Thank you to all those who made it possible for me to travel across the country to share this moment with my hero, my Marine!

I can't thank MarineParents enough for affording me the opportunity to see my Marine graduate. I had lost my employment due to multiple autoimmune disorders that prevented me from performing my job. I was so scared and worried that I would not have been able to attend. We went from a two-person income to a 1 person income, which is a drastic difference. I can't thank them for creating group member pages either that allow other Marine parents to connect and give each other emotional support, knowledge, and step-by-step guidance. MarineParents is such a wonderful organization.

I want to sincerely thank MarineParents Travel Assistant Program for giving me assistance that helped me see my younger son graduate as a new Marine at Parris Island. Thank you for your generosity. This means a lot to my family in these hard times. With the unexpected expenses that came up recently, I didn't know what I was going to do. My son, my new Marine, started this journey in November 2021. Sadly, an injury made him stay in the hospital for rehabilitation and after 5 weeks he was assigned to Lima Co, Platoon 3021. He did his best to graduate and despite all the odds, he made it, never ever giving up. I’m so proud of him for his courage and determination. I’m a proud Marine Mother. Your financial help saved me from having to take on more debt that would have been difficult to repay. I’m a single mother. I am indebted to you for your generosity. Thanks for all that you do! Thank you for being who you are. Semper Fi

I just wanted to let you know how very appreciative I am for being approved for a portion of my travel expenses. I live on an extremely tight and fixed budget. Social Security Disability pay barely covers a most minimal existence. It doesn't allow for frivolity or any extra spending for any reason. Travel is definitely out of the question. Without this assistance and the help of others, I would not have been able to be there in Parris Island, SC to see my daughter graduate as a United States Marine. Her decision to be of service to our country has filled my heart and soul with pride. (And fear.) We never know how long we have in this life, and with my medical conditions, that time will be far less than that of the average person, it was important for me (and her) to be there to witness it. I may not live long enough to see grandchildren but I am alive now to support my daughter in any achievements she achieves. It is important to both of us. So please accept my most humble thanks for this assistance. It means more to us than you could possibly imagine.

It meant the world to me to see my Marine. He is my other half and the father of our son. Our son jumped for him as soon as he saw him and it melted my Marine’s heart. I was full of every emotion you could think of. I was excited and sad because these past few months have been tough getting several medical diagnoses and now he’s finally there to be back by my side. I was anxious because it was so hard to find him at first as people were pointing me in circles because he was also looking for me. Most importantly, I felt the love when his sister told me to turn around, and there he was.. my husband and now my Marine!

"Thank you! Being able to go to our son's graduation meant the world to his Dad and me. It was a wonderful trip being able to get out of the snow of Montana to warm San Diego and cheer on our son in something he has thought about all his life~ With his Dad being a Marine, being on the base where he first started his journey brought back so many memories... We thoroughly enjoyed our time from the Meet & Greet dinner (Meeting his SDI and realizing he kept his dad's service a secret the entire time), to Family Day (my first hug) to graduation, as well as the bonds we have made in our #LimaForeverStrong Platoon!! He is now on his way to his next step and we will forever be grateful for this opportunity!"
