(Home)...Like No Place On Earth

One of our new Marine’s greatest wishes upon graduation was.....
to go.....HOME.
Having missed Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Celebrations with all the family, our Papito was anxious to get home and relax in the comfort atmosphere of his....home. There he could be ’off duty’ and ’at ease’.
Anyone being denied that.....knows the value of it completely....

The comforts of home are often taken for granted because it seems that it is always there. For this Marine, home is a place of security, peace, rest, ......and plenty!
A refrigerator is nearby with all his favorite things.....his familiar clothes are just waiting on the hangers, his cell phone is nearby and he is free to call anyone at a moments notice, Music, videos, vehicles for transportation (instead of walking everywhere for 3 months)....everything the heart desires is only a heartbeat away. Love and devotion, teasing and having fun....the blessings of family and home.....never to be taken for granted again by
Marine Carlos Manuel Fernandez III.
Home.....there is no place like it on earth.....

Let’s think of this the next time we see on TV the troops leaving the comfort of their families and homes in order to make the world a safer place for us. Because of the sacrifice that goes with a military individuals chosen profession....we can enjoy our home daily.
“Never, ever take home for granted.” says our Marine!
