PFC Donald Joseph Conde III

Last Friday, I took Gav out of school and we headed down to the MCRD in San Diego for DJ's graduation from Boot Camp.  
It was a beautiful (HOT!) day, and the ceremony was so cool!  I'm so glad I decided to attend and that Gav got to see it too.  It was so patriotic and emotional.  I love this country and have such respect and gratitude for these young men.
Here is Platoon # 3205 of Indy Company-

 PFC Conde...right up front!

 One more time around the parade...
 He's all done!  And here's a hug from Aunt Pam:
 The "Proud Mom of a U.S. Marine":
 It was such a great day!  And the fam is so excited to have him home for 17 days.  Then it's off to Camp Pendleton for a couple of months, before heading to Washington D.C..
Cody, Don, DJ, Julie & Pamela
 I love this kid!  I am a Proud Cousin of a U.S. Marine!
I took lots of pictures of the ceremony.  To see them all, click HERE.
