The Newest Firefighter in Virginia Beach!

     On May 2nd, Marcus wore his recruit uniform for the last time! In fact, when I arrived at the Sandler Center for the graduation ceremony, I barely recognized him in his spiffy Class A’s. We were blessed to have all our family come out and support Marcus at his graduation.. I even put my little sister to work taking pictures! Unfortunately, the lighting was less than desirable for photographs, but she still captured the important moments.
