My husband and I look forward to the group's monthly meetings and activities, and we have felt fortunate to have met a really nice group of people who share the experiences of having a child/sibling/spouse in the Marine Corps. You can get as involved as you want, and there is absolutley no pressure. I personally feel better when our son is deployed by staying in touch with people and organizations involving the military. We are thankful for our new friends, and appreciate the camaraderie.
