I have attended my share of military graduations. My husband's OCS graduation in Utah. My grandson's boot camp in North Carolina, my cousin's graduation from the Seals in San Diego.
I am one of the lucky ones. Many families can't afford to travel to do that. But someone is trying to help with that. These graduations are one of life's proud moments. Parents, wives, and other loved ones should be there to share the joy no matter what the financial circumstances. Please take a minute to click here for information on the program from the author of Mrs. Lieutenant.

Thanks so much, Carolyn, for helping spread the word about this worthwhile organization -- http://www.usmcgrad.org -- that helps parents attend their child's Marine boot camp graduation.
