Some Men Are Warriors
11/16/2016


I just heard a caller talk about her 17-year-old boy who won't move forward with college applications.  This call reminded me of the summer our 17-year-old son brought home a recruiter.

Our son had wanted us to sign for him to join the Marine Corp after high school. My husband had also went into the Marine's out of high school. We fully supported his choice but wanted him to wait until he was 18, so he could sign himself. Our son decided to bring home the recruiter to try and get us to change our mind. After I grilled the recruiter with all my questions, we signed.

Dr. Laura, my husband and I raised a man. He served his 4 years in the military, which included 2 deployments. He is now in Law Enforcement. He has followed in his father's footsteps.

I remember you saying that some men are warriors. I'm happy to say married one and raised one.

Kate
