TJ 171 #1 Posted May 3, 2015 It has been my son's dream since he was twelve years old, to be an Officer in the Marine Corp. Yesterday, my son, Jeff, was promoted from Staff Sargent, to 2nd Lieutenant, USMC. First salute as an officer from his dad. 2nd Lt. Jeffrey Thomas Evans, USMC. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TJ 171 #13 Posted May 3, 2015 I thank all of you for your kind remarks. I can tell you that my son is as kind and as gentle a man as you would ever want to meet but when called on, he can be as tough and as hard as nails. He is a better man than his dad. Thanks, again: Tom 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
