MPTA Helps Marine Mom, Teresa, Attend Graduation
Thank you, Marine Parents Travel Assistance!
On Friday, January 16, 2026, Marine Parents Travel Assistance sent Teresa, Mother of a recruit, to San Diego for the recruit's graduation from Charlie Company to become a Marine.
We enjoyed attending the graduation and seeing our recruit! This has been such an amazing journey for all of us. The transformation in him is inspiring! It was a struggle to make the trip, but I’m so glad we did. Seeing his joy at seeing us exceeded the joy I felt inside! Thank you for helping make this possible! Teresa, New Marine Mom
