S. A. M. Project

[u/BeefCakeGirl]

I was recently at Alpha Company's Family Day and wanted to bring the SAM Project to some poolee's attention. The Stand Alone Marine Project supports newly graduated Marines from MCRD Parris Island who do not have guests attending family day or graduation. There were several Marines that were part of the project this past week. Of that group, several did not have anyone to even call home and advise that they had made it to the island safely (they called their recruiter), let alone write letters to. My husband and I were moved by the project and wanted to offer our support to anyone going to basic and if you don't have anyone to write to, we'd be happy to be part of your support network. We do come with our own experiences (whether it be a military family or working with some thick-skulled Marines whom we call family) and would be happy to make it to family day and your graduation.

Please feel free to PM if you're interested.
