U.S. Marine Corps Veteran and former law enforcement officer tells his controversial family story: I was a rookie cop working patrol when the local newspaper wanted a story about minority rookie cops on the job. Ironically they chose me. They didn't know what can of worms they were opening and wanted to know my struggles in coming to America. I began remembering my controversial past. You see, my parents came to the United States illegally looking for a better way of life. Unfortunately after years of struggling here my father began selling drugs to stay afloat. Needless to say that that lifestyle was a rollercoaster ride full of dangerous frightening risks. Thankfully God intervened and consequently my father was arrested and sentenced to 15 years in prison where he surrendered to Jesus. He witnessed many blessings which made me want to know Jesus too. Unfortunately my life was also in shambles from my poor decisions and I found myself joining the Marine Corps. I became a proud patriot and began loving this country, my country, and this is why I am sharing my controversial story with all of America, hopefully inspiring people to make better choices in life because ultimatley they affect our future and our freedom. May we also continue to have a country that inspires huge dreams, great ideas, and great music. A country that still can say Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free (Emma Lazarus). I still want this country to be around for my grandchildrens grandchildren, so lets keep the American dream alive! Hoorah, semper fidelis!
