If I Can, So Can....

[TMM54]

Please join me next Friday in celebrating my completion of my doctorate degree, and I will be awarded the degree of Doctor of Chiropractic at Cleveland Chiropractic College, Overland Park, Kansas.

I am 57 years old, went through heart surgery, stroke, and financial issues to complete almost eight years of undergraduate degree and doctoral program.

The Executive Vice President of Cleveland Chiropractic College, Dr. Clark Beckley, also a Marine, always had a word of encouragement.

Ten years ago, I was sleeping under a bridge in south Phoenix, sick, penniless and hopeless.

We can change anything if we put our mind and our energy into it.

If can do it, so can.....

Semper Fi, Tom Murray

Congratulations Doctor Tom!

Marines in the Kansas City area, I will begin practicing early 2012 in Raytown, Missour, so PM me if you need help. I have a great clinic to work in now, and my specialty is low back pain from herniated/degenerated/bulging discs, along with all joint pain, neck pain, etc. PM me and I will send you practice details. Can't give advice until I have Missouri license in hand, which should not take too long.

Thanks Marines PhantomBlooper and Quinbo! That is what is all about, Marines helping Marines.

Semper Fi, Tom

Thanks Doc! I got great care from our Navy brothers while I was on active duty, at Beaufort, South Carolina, Jacksonville, NC, in Iwakuni, Japan, and at MCAS Yuma. Great corpsmen and doctors.

I was just saying today....Never give up. Never.

And congrats on your accomplishments!!!!

Thanks for the great comments. You are right. It is when we give up that all is lost. Until then we can still win, overcome, or achieve, because with our thinking we can change just about anthing in our lives.
