Godspeed MWSS 473
Marine Mom Becky, KV for her son's unit and denmother to most of the Marines at Camp Pendleton (I think most of them have been to her place for dinner during the past five years) sent this picture of her son taken at Bangor by the Maine Troop greeters. These wonderful people show up whenever a plane loaded with troops hits the tarmac. They provide cell phones, refreshments, hugs, and a last hug or first welcome back to weary troops.
Becky described her son's parting words:
He was confident, raring to go, ready to get on with his mission. I told him to keep his head down and he said "Mom, how the hell can I see the enemy that way!?" Silly Marine.
Godspeed Son, hurry home.
Becky is one of our Operation Santa volunteers, making sure that our Marines and other troops feel some love from home during the holidays.
