In Semper Parents, Mary Regner shares practical tips and perspective from several Marines, spouses, and parents with a variety of USMC experiences to help new Marine parents find purpose in the Marine Corps, understand more about military life, cope with concern and worry, celebrate traditions, and nurture changing relationships. “The guide all Marine parents need ... shows how parents can join their Marine on this incredible and sometimes terrifying journey. ...
