I've been getting some great letters from my son over the past few days. In his latest letter he talks about the "infamous obstacles".

My son is in his 3rd week of Marine Basic Training and I could tell from his letters that he loves to hear about what's happening back home. I now have his full address and would love to send letters to him from you. You can send them to me here at the radio station: Erin McCarty KVKI 6341 Westport Avenue Shreveport, LA 71129 I would certainly appreciate it and you can tell him in your letter that

I have gotten so many great messages for my son who is at Marine Basic Training in Parris Island, South Carolina. I did get connected with a great parent website. He's about to wrap up week 2 and I will be sending him your messages.

My son has been off to Marine boot camp for 10 days. It does get easier with each passing day, but it's still so tough to wonder what's going on in his life. I have had no contact with him since I gave him a big hug at the airport on Monday of last week ...

My son has been gone for 2 days now and I have already written him a couple of letters. I can't mail them because I don't have his full address yet. That bothers me. I'm told I should be getting a full packet from my son within the next week ...

My eyes welled up as I saw him sitting with some new buddies at Shreveport Regional Airport. JW was more concerned about me at that point (he hates to see me cry). Then we just talked.

This is the day I have been dreading. My oldest son leaves for the U.S. Marines today. He is headed to basic training in South Carolina for 13 weeks.

I am so torn about my son's decision to join the Marines. But mostly I am proud. He has been thinking about doing this for a few months and he checked out all of the branches of the military.

Carly Rae Jepson's "Call Me Maybe" has been parodied and lip dubbed countless times, but this lip dub by the US Marines is quite possibly the most unexpected.

Times sure have changed. One of the best TV shows that features the changes our society has made is the show "Modern Family." I'm calling this a "Modern Marine Homecoming" in honor of that.

Most of us get annoyed when we receive spam, but one Maryland man has spent countless hours and money sending Spam to troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan so they can have a little bit of home while they’re away.

What a class act. Justin Timberlake kept his promise to Corporal Kelsey De Santis and was her date to the Marine Corps Ball in Richmond, Va.
