The parents of military officers are always proud of their children. Those who serve in the army, air force, marines, and navy receive respect from many people, but few respect them as much as their parents do. They give their military children all of the love, support, and respect they can. Many even go as far as to add decals to their cars or motorcycles that say their son or daughter is in the military. Bikers who love adding patches to their riding jacket might want to wear this My Son is a US Marine Patch to honor their son.
While the Marine Corps has been a part of the US military since 1834, it has its roots in the Continental Marines corps that was created in 1775. The marines have served in all armed conflicts that have involved the United States, distinguishing themselves in World War II and other conflicts involving amphibious warfare. They're known for their ability to quickly respond to any type of crises both in the U.S. and around the world.
However, while you'll find no parent more proud of their marines, you won't see as many of these patches as you will patches for the other branches of the military. That's because the marines is the smallest branch of the U.S. military with just over 200,000 active members. This fact helps illuminate the long-standing phrase that is often used in recruitment commercials and other marketing: "The few. The proud. The Marines".
