LIMA Co MCRD Family Day 02.24.22
Lima Company - 3rd Recruit Training Battalion
I am so grateful to be invited by multiple families every week to be an important part of their Marine’s special day at MCRD.
272 Marines celebrating family day, 24 February 2022, with Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, at Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) San Diego, CA, and join over a million other Marines in an amazing legacy!
I am SO blessed to be able to do this for YOUR families; my heart truly lies here, serving you in a different way.

This November, I joined twelve other veterans right here in East County San Diego to receive a Quilt of Valor during a special luncheon at Foothills United Methodist Church in La Mesa. I will share with you what the Quilts of Valor Foundation is, how I have personally been “touched by war,” the story of my shipmate whose death changed my path, and how I now get to serve other military families; by telling their stories through photography and journaling.
