I was in the Marine Corps from 1993 – 1997. Three years of those four I was stationed on the wonderful island of Okinawa, Japan. Within the first couple of days of getting on the island is when I met Evan Parker. Within those three years, Evan became one of the best friends I have ever had. Evan left the island a few months before I did. When he left, that was the last time I saw him, until last weekend, so around almost 12 years.. I got to meet his beautiful family and we went to D.C. to check out some of the sites. I had a blast, even though it was FREEZING cold out side, I had a blast.
This first picture is of Evan and me from either 1996 or 1997.
