  • Sgt. Maj. Anthony Cruz and Chief Warrant Officer 3 Justina Cruz retired from the Marine Corps June 1, 2018 at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, Arlington, Va. Together they have 50 years of combined Marine Corps service and have been married for 12 of those years. Their combined experience has had them visit 24 duty stations.

    This UA-cam warms my heart and it provides me with continuing faith in Americans . . . not the rock stars, not the celebrities, not the self-anointed elites, not the “rich and famous,” and not most of our public figures. No, honorable, intelligent, dedicated individuals who devote lives to crucial things, far “larger” than themselves. These two exceptional, outstanding Marines personify why this nation - despite our flaws, which we strive to correct - factually is exceptional.
    I deeply thank CWO-3 and SgtMaj Cruz for their extraordinary service (and, having spent twenty years on active duty before I retired, this statement is more than an expression of sincere gratitude, it is also an acknowledgement of the GREAT and FREQUENT sacrifices they made for Corps and Country).

    #relationshipgoals tbh...it’s better when you’re in a relationship w someone who also serves, regardless of branch, but even better if you’re in the same one or same unit; you both understand each other more vs a civilian/non-prior service being w someone in uniform

      Married a sailor and was a sailor. I had a spinal cord injury and had to get out but hub stayed in. 25 yrs retired as O3E. I became a social worker with navy family services. I always said I was a sailor, a spouse and a educator. I cover all the bases. Still married 32 yrs later. I guess we military couples have strong commitments! Enjoy retirement. We are! God bless you and your family!
