Commissioning Ceremony

Aaron and I were commissioned as 2nd Lieutenants in the United States Marine Corps August 10, 2007. No matter how difficult the training or whatever may come, I must never forget why I am here.

''I, (state your full name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.''

Aaron posted videos of our pinning on his blog.
