The few. The proud.


Carrie Kohler recently graduated from U.S. Marine Corps basic training in Parris Island, South Carolina. Carrie is the daughter of Lisa Luna and step-daughter of Charles Luna. Lisa, Charles, Brittany and Kirstyn (Carrie’s sister and niece) all made the trip to see her graduate. Carrie took them on a tour of where she had lived for the past 13 weeks, obstacles she had completed, and the rifle range, where she had learned to shoot. Carrie was home for about a week, and currently she's working in a recruitment office in St. Louis, before she heads to Camp Geiger, North Carolina, for her MCT (Marine Combat Training). Carrie is a former Pontiac resident. She graduated from Gainesville High School and spent summers working at Just Jackie's. We're very proud of her! And we'll keep you posted on where she lands.

Thanks to all for making Carrie's short leave a great one. She's excited to venture into her new world. being a (peacetime)veteran myself does not compare to being a parent of a servicewoman or man. I join you in constant support of your sons and daughters. after all, they are all our children of the future. I couldn't be prouder. Thanks to jabet for the article and the posting on this blog. and thanks for the comments. "Lady Leathernecks" Lisa Luna
