Semper Parents: Supporting Your Marine and Sharing the Journey

Mary Regner had many mixed feelings when her son unexpectedly announced his desire to become a US Marine. Full of pride, but fully aware of the risks and rewards, Mary and her husband, also a Marine, knew this was their son's choice to make. And they knew their job was to support his journey. In Semper Parents, Mary shares her wisdom as a seasoned Marine parent supporting their son through two decades of service, three combat tours, multiple deployments, and many moves. She interweaves her personal story with practical guidance for new Marine parents beginning the journey with their own Marine. Topics include: finding purpose in the Marine Corps--for your Marine and you; how to join your Marine on their journey; understanding the rewards and risks of service; strategies to cope with concern and worry; and important ceremonies and celebrations.
