The McKenzie Brothers
Dear Sgt. Grit,
My husband and I read your articles regularly and love the stories. We are fairly new Marine parents. Our oldest son graduated PI in March of 2007 and has just returned from his first tour in Iraq. His younger brother graduated PI in October of 2007 and has recently left for his first tour in Iraq. By Divine Providence my youngest son’s battalion was sent to relieve his brother’s battalion coming home. They were able to spend a few days together in Iraq before they went their separate ways. Here is a picture of the two of them. LCpl. Dennis McKenzie, II and his big brother Cpl. William McKenzie. Thanks for all your wonderful and inspirational stories. And to all the Marines who are reading this, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service, past, present and future, to this great Country.
Semper Fi!
