Tina,
I received the package today ( Thurs. 2/9), The Award is beautiful, it will display well with my other Collectibles. Although it is not the same format that I was presented in 1968, it was worth waiting 43 years to receive. I have a photo of the original presentation to display with the plaque.
Thanks again for your efforts to make a former Marine proud.
After Six schools, five moves, eight houses, and ten Marine deployments, sixteen-year-old Erika Booth has always managed to stay positive, strong and resilient. This 2012, Operation Homefront Marine Corps Child of the Year was diagnosed with lupus, an autoimmune disorder, but does not let the disease stop her from energetically going on with her life. Her love of supporting and helping others is what keeps Erika going.
