Oh wow. I guess you can safely say that it runs in your blood. Cool.

Amazing! What I would give to witness one of your family dinners.

Your blood is that of warriors. Your family is quite amazing. Give them my regards

They must be so proud of you to be part of the Marines. One of the toughest out there. What a sight.

Oh wow! That is so amazing! I am the first, and hopefully not the only one, in the family :)
