This is my son, CPL. Severen James Coppola. At a very young age ( the fourth grade ) he decided he wanted to join the marines. He never waivered. Even though I was against it. We quarreled many times but he held firm. At the age of 17 he pre-enlisted. And at the age of 18 just two weeks after graduating high school he went for basic training. He is now 21 and I couldn't be prouder of him. He stood firm to achieve his goal and with much determination he achieved it. Because he loves his country. Semper Fi!!
