Over Hazardous                    Land Janet Kuypers 11/10/19, on the Marine Corps birthday When I was stranded on a mountainside behind enemy lines, the tallest Marine I knew helped me retreat, changed my dressing — and when bombs took out our route to base, he even carried me over hazardous lands so we could both make it. # I could go on about how I chose to marry a Marine, but maybe his everyday actions reflect the character that makes a Marine. Their slogan line starts by saying “the few”, so I am glad I found one of the few who make a difference in every aspect of their lives. They step ahead, they help those in need, and they make a real difference.
