Happy birthday, US Marine Sgt Danny Garcia.   Where it all started, Parris Island, SC — that’s where he wanted to go for his 77th birthday. We thank #MarineCorpsRecruitDepotParrisIsland for a warm welcome and for treating us with such respect and dignity.

Thanks to Commanding General, BGen Julie Nethercot, Sgt Maj Mota, Col RT Player (Headquarters & Service Battalion Commander), Comm & Strategic Ops for these great photos, and the #mcrdpisc staff for a splendid visit.  Special thanks to Mike Thompson, USMC retired, who made this trip a reality, and the other Mike, who escorted us..  We are incredibly grateful for this homecoming, 60 years since Sgt Danny Garcia graduated boot camp.

We are #globalwalkinc and we thank and honor veterans, first responders, and their families
