Sixteen-year-old Sam Short of Columbus, Ohio, is battling a serious illness but refused to let that stop him from realizing a dream.
The teenager’s training included obstacle courses, a gas chamber, rifle training, and the Crucible, which is the final challenge for Marine recruits.
According to Tori, when there were moments Sam could not complete a challenge, the other Marines stepped in to help. “If there was a time where he couldn’t do it, they did it as a team,” she recalled, adding, “We got a front-row seat to see his dream come true.”, “Side by side as brothers and sisters, we are warriors. We welcome obstacles and thrive on challenge. Each Marine stands together as a vital part of a united force, greater than any individual and older than the very Nation we defend.”
Following two days of boot camp, Sam participated in a ceremony from the Marines, receiving his Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, and was dubbed an honorary Marine. Major Philip Kulczewski, the director of communications, strategy and operations for Parris Island, said it was an honor working with him, adding, “He represents the tremendous fighting spirit and commitment that we look for in each aspiring Marine.”
