I get a few Moms emailing me to tell me that their boy is at Camp Leatherneck and could we find him and take him to church. I love doing that. Picture me walking in to a large tent were a commander might be sitting at his desk with his staff around. I ask to see Sergeant Smith and one of the staff asks in what regard do I want Sergeant Smith. I reply I am his Chaplain (the Marine Corp calls every religious leader Chaplin). Anyway the Commander immediately introduces himself with a big smile while someone goes to get Sergeant Smith. The Commander asks me if everything is OK at home with Sgt. Smiths family, and I reply “oh just fine. His Mom just wants him to go to church.” And so there is Sgt. Smith standing by the side of the road as appointed by myself and his Commander waiting for me to give him a ride to church this morning.

You got to love the power of Moms and Marine Corp Coronels.
