I don't have very many defining moments in my life, but one moment that really defined me is when I was adopted. My real parents both died in the Battle of Iwo Jima. It didn't affect me much because they died when I was young, but being in adoption services really made me sad. I was adopted by two loving parents named Josh and Katrina. Josh is also in the Marine Corps so I have learned a lot from it over the years. Being adopted really put life in perspective and now I cherish every moment.
