💬 “I am extremely honored. When I first joined the program, I didn’t believe it was possible for me to do all I have, but I learned what it truly means to be a leader. I’m excited for the opportunities this program gives me to pass down my knowledge to other Young Marines.” — YM/SgtMaj Valerie Huete
