He has a dream. Dog tags and a gun.

I had a dream. Car seats and a lawn.

We meet in the middle because forever was settled when, to each other, we gave these rings.

There’ll come a day when he has to go. But, no, my love can’t hold him here.

The vows we exchanged, “forsaking all others”, can no longer be applied.

From this day forward he will put the United States Marine Corps ahead of all others.
