Another Email Reminding Why I Made A Webpage

This speaks for itself:
-------------------------------
Jason,

My wife and I are flying out to Parris Island tomorrow in preparation for the graduation of our daughter into the family know as The Marine Corps. It has been a tough road for her. She left the Sunday after Thanksgiving and was doing great in training. Three weeks before her graduation, which was to be Feb 25th, she developed a stress fracture in her hip. This set her back physically for about three months, but emotionally she became stronger and even more determined to become a Marine. At one point she wrote, "I'm leaving this island as a Marine or in a pine box." Well, on the 10th of June she will leave the island a Marine.

I write all of this as a background for what I am about to say in regard to your web site. As you can imagine my wife and I have immersed ourselves in as much information about the Marine Corps, and bootcamp in particular, as we could so that we could understand what our daughter had been going through. We have visited many sites and have gained a lot of useful information, but most sites lack any real substance as to the experience. Your site fills that gap in a fashion that makes the reader really experience the daily tortures and lessons of bootcamp. You don't play down the toughness of the experience, but you always emphasize that there are reasons and lessons to be learned from each of those tough experiences. Also the other stories that you present about your interests and events that you have participated in add a personal touch to the information that I have not found anywhere else.

In closing I want to say thank you for taking the time to put your story out there for us parents in a way that helps us better understand the what and why of bootcamp and the Marines.

Thanks

Gratefully
