Good story from MarineParents.com


Hi everyone just wanted to share this story:My nephew called last night to let me know he was in Raleigh NC coming home, (taking greyhound bus)While talking to him he started asking someone questions and told me "Let me call you back"Well when he called back he told me there was 2 girls at the station that had rode in on his bus that were suppose to go on to Washington DCBut the ticket agent would not let them get on their connecting bus because they were 14 yrs old. And supposedly minors can’t travel by bus after dark.(to cut the story short a little)Jeremy went to talk to the ticket agent to ask why they couldn’t get on. And ask if he bought a ticket to their next stop could they go then. The reply was"No they have to have a Guardian to sign for them"So Jeremy said " you mean to tell me 2 girls 14 yrs old are safer sitting at a bus stop all night then riding on a bus that their parents purchased tickets, put them on the bus thinking they would arrive ok?"The ticket agent ask Jeremy “what’s it to you?"Jeremy’s reply"I''m a Marine...It’s my Job, I don’t just protect you during a war, it’s a 24/7 job"Jeremy had let the girls use his cell phone to call their uncle 4 hrs away to come get them. Jeremy was wanting to stay with the girls till their uncle arrived but between me and the girls we finally got him to get on his bus, but only after the girls took his number and promised they would call him when their uncle picked them up (in about 2 hrs) so he could quit worrying about them. It took a MARINE to help 2 girls that didn''t understand why they were being abandoned, in a town they didn''t know. So to my nephew the MARINE I say “JOB WELL DONE” OOH RAH



Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ & the American Military. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
Let's Thank Them BOTH.
