It was truly an honor to stand before the young leaders of the G. Holmes Braddock NJROTC and speak about my book Lead Like A Marine.

There is something powerful about looking into the eyes of cadets who have already chosen discipline, structure, and service over shortcuts. Their questions were thoughtful. Their bearing was sharp. Their future is bright.

Leadership is not about rank. It’s about responsibility. It’s about character when no one is watching. It’s about earning trust daily. That’s the message behind Lead Like A Marine — and seeing these cadets embrace those principles reminds me why I wrote it in the first place.

A sincere thank you to Captain Fernandez and the entire NJROTC staff for organizing such a meaningful opportunity. Your commitment to shaping tomorrow’s leaders does not go unnoticed. The time you invest today will echo for decades in the lives of these young men and women.

To the cadets:
Stay disciplined. Stay humble. Stay hungry to improve.
Leadership is earned — never given.

Semper Fidelis,

20 DAYS UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!
*OPEN TO ALL*
Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard and Civilians!
35 Years Ago. Same Brotherhood. Same Mission. 🇺🇸

Over 35 years ago, this article announced what would become a defining moment in our lives 240 Dade County Marines answering the call, leaving home, and heading into the desert as part of Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

We trained, deployed, and served together when our nation needed us most. We didn’t know exactly where the road would lead only that we would face it together.

Now, 35 years later, those same Marines are coming together once again not for war, but for remembrance, brotherhood, and honor.

📅 Saturday, January 17, 2026
🕚 Meet-Up: 11:00 AM
🕛 Ceremony Begins: 12:00 PM
📍 Miami-Dade Military Museum
📌 12460 SW 152nd St, Miami, FL 33177

This reunion is about more than time passed it’s about honoring our service, remembering those who didn’t make it home, and celebrating the bonds forged in the desert that never fade.

If you were one of those Marines or know one spread the word and stand with us once more.

Once a Marine. Always a Marine.
Semper Fi.
