I Saw My Marine This Morning on Our Local CBS News...

[TwinMom7]

I have a smile from ear to ear this morning!!!!! I was screaming - the dog was barking at me - and there was Bobby's face, right there on my television! A local reporter from the South Bend Tribune has now embedded himself with our Marines and his latest report is in today's newspaper. The photos were shown this morning on our local news.

The reporter is a retired Marine who joined our unit earlier this week. I am just so thrilled to see that photo!!!!

To top it off....I got a phone call about an hour ago from the television station wanting to interview me about my reaction to seeing his FACE!!! So, I'm on my way to the telvision station to be interviewed. Please pray for me so I don't make a total fool of myself!!

I'll attach the link to the newspaper's website and you can click on the article. The third photo at the bottom of the article shows my son on the left (clowning around with another Marine) - Cpl. Bobby Knight.

I am definately doing the HAPPY DANCE today!!

That's great! It shows that the media can do something right I know my SIL has Fox News on all the time now hoping to catch a glimpse of her DH cause Fox sent a reporter with them. Good luck with your interview

WOO-HOO! Try to keep cool in the interview. (I would imagine that any type of "contact" would be comforting!)

OMG Patty! I'm so excited for you! What a hoot that photo is too, looks like Bobby is singing & the other guy is playing "guitar!" I'm sure that must help your heart a little bit.

I'm sure you'll save copies of that paper so that you can show him & he can save some to share with his children & grandchildren someday!

Thanks so much for sharing with us! I feel I know him just from hearing about him from you!

Now where's Nick?? (LOL!)
