I’m the daughter of a former Marine and I have a question to the general forum here. Background: My mother made the rank of Sergeant , the specific details of where she served, and what she did were not shared with me. But I’m perplexed by an event that occurred last Thanksgiving. Without going into all the details; during the months of November and part of December, my mother was in CCU and she had to endure respiratory treatments. The young man administering these treatments (also a fellow Marine) had a “fun” time getting my mother to take them. He finally said something that sparked such a reaction of her, that she “bucked up” and took the treatments. That statement was, “Do it for …….!” Similar to a statement like, “Do it for the Gipper!” (but it wasn’t the Gipper…)
My question is this, What or Who would that have been? What or Who would evoke such a response that would drive one, being seriously ill, sit up and put forth an effort? I was in such shock of her reaction, that I can’t remember for the life of me what that young man had said. Can anyone shed some light? I’m really interested in finding out.
Thank you and God Bless.
