The calling of the Saluting Marine is great. People contact me to be at funerals and visit Veterans that are sick from time to time, as well as show my support for amazing charities across the Nation.
When that phone rings, my biggest concern is where the request is coming from. I never charge a family that requests my presence to be "All Present" to show my respect and support.
These endeavors I do on my own. On my dime. I keep this separate from my charity. This is my calling in life that never needed a charity status to show I care.
