I need to thank all that have responded to Taylor's threads in here, and for such wonderful words.
I have brought her here to read these. When I told her that her story was on this site, she got this big beautiful smile. As we read the responses together, she was so proud. When she read the one that said people like her are the reason why Marines are willing to sacrifice their lives, she actually cried.
In the coming weeks,there are many things in the works for Taylor that will include her being an Honorary Marine for life. While her condition will never allow her to actually join the Corp, what is being done for her, it will give her the courage she needs to fight the many battles she needs to. Now that she knows she has the USMC with her, these battles are going to be fought with courage. In her heart and soul, she IS a Marine and an American Warrior. The outpouring to her has been overwhelming. I have had retired Marines as well as active call and email me from all over. No one will EVER be able to tell me that the Marines are not the best we have to offer!
I am so proud of my daughter, her love for her country and her love for her military. I am so proud to say, I am a Marine Mom!
THANK YOU for taking the time for my daughter, and THANK YOU for being who you are and what you have done in the past, what you are all doing now and for what you will do in the future for this country.
A forever grateful Mom
