Everyone has a story, and with Veterans Day just around the corner, we were privileged to have Bob share with us about his service in the Marine Corps silent drill platoon.
We watched an inspiring video of a full ceremony in Washington, D.C., and Bob explained the drill, traditions, and new additions. It was very interesting to learn about the various duties of the platoon, including honoring soldiers who make the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Thank you, Bob, for sharing this piece of your story with us!
