Young man changes his life now he’s a Marine

[Lee Drennen]

I’m proud of this young man. He stopped by my house today to tell my wife and I good bye. I’ve watch him grow up with a troubled young life he’s 18 and just Graduated from the Marines and planning his career in the Marines. I’m so proud of him.

Paul he is my wife’s cousin.

[Lee Drennen]

Thank you. His mother was killed when he was 3yrs old she was a drug attic. His father still is and he was raised by his grandparents. He started down the same path as his parents but decided to change his life before it was to late

[BattleshipBob]

Good god Lee. What a start to life and very brave to change paths. He deserves great success and a great future. He truly deserves it!

All the best to this young man. To achieve so much from such a difficult beginning shows courage and determination.

Bob and Jim
Yes he does! He also stated that another reason he joined that he’s 18 and single and no family he would rather give his life for his country than see a mid 20 year old with a wife and kids give his very humble young man it was all I could do to hold back the tears today

Sounds like he has his head screwed on and is heading in the right direction Lee!
I wish him the best of luck in his endeavours.

[Lee Drennen]

Thanks Si to bad so many never open there eyes like him

Bad start but now on the good road.

His Grandparents I think must be very good people to get him there.

He looks a cheeky chappy I like that it shows spirit & spirit is the zest
of life.
