The scores are in .... here is Captain Gazes!
A few years ago Will was walking across the stage at Quantico becoming a USMC 2nt LT. Today in front of the Iwo Jima Memorial and tons of family and friends he became a Captain! It was bitter sweet for the both of us. We were so happy and excited this moment had finally come but at the same time we knew it would be Wills last promotion in the Corps. Will had decided awhile ago that he was ready to move on. It wasn't an easy decision. We both love the Marine Corps and the home we have made with them. We know no matter were our life leads us we will always have the corps in our hearts. It is apart of who we are. Will will carry our memories, the corps values... honor , courage, commitment, and the friends we have made always in our hearts! Today my husband accepted the rank of Captain. He will continue to lead his marines, work hard to represent the Corps and his family, and truly enjoy his last year ,and there is no better way to do that than to be a Captain! So congrats Will. We are so proud of all that you have done for us. You sacrificed your time with your family to helped protect our country, you continue to make a difference now with you work in the Environmental section. We love you and are forever grateful for all of your hard work. We love you always!
