Hey everybody,
I forgot to post this on here! My friend Josh graduated highschool with me and joined the Marines. He was on the front page of my local paper and that was the first time I had seen him since Graduation! He had just returned from Iraq on a 1 year tour. Anyways, when I saw him I wrote into the paper with this article and they published it in the Editorial section.
I also attached a picture from my brother and his best friends graduation at MCRD this past january. It serves as my MOTO! Im on the left, my friend Rick, My brother, My sister.
Thanks to all who serve, protect America
editor: It was good to see Josh Cebula and his father on the front page when the Daily Herald wrote about soldiers ( the paper edited this sentece, I wouldnt call a Marine a 'soldier' just thought id clear that up, so i dont get picked apart) returning to Wausau. Josh and another in my school's class of '03 enlisted in the Marines when we still were in high school. There have been plenty who have signed with the Marines from our area, before and after them. Some are overseas, stateside or even on a second tour in Iraq.
I take great pride knowing that there are so many in the military from our little towns. Our school has alumni in all branches. I soon will be leaving for boot camp, and a few more from the class of '06 will follow next summer. I will be proud to earn the title and be called a United States Marine.
Thanks to the men and women who risk their lives, no matter what branch, for Americans every day. Welcome home, Josh!
