I was able to take on the role as a men- tor to my instructors and the recruits. Throughout the training I saw real growth in my assistant instructors-YM SSgt Keelie McCain YMSgt Annabel Garcia and YMSgt Jose Zambrano. Being my assistants gave them the opportunity to step forward and grow to become better Young Marines. I was instructed with the idea that everyone has a leader inside them they just need the opportunity and the support to develop that leadership. I am very proud of all the hard work everyone put in to help Desert grow towards the unit we can be. Congratulations to all of the newest members of the Desert Young Marines.

The best American value that we get to have is individual freedom. As guaranteed in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution freedom of speech allows us to express our thoughts and feelings. Our freedom of speech also al- lows us to protest against anything that we dont feel is morally correct. We can express our freedom of religion every day we get to worship any God of our choosing. It is also states in our Young Marines obligation that we can worship the God of our faith. Freedom of the press means publishers are allowed to publish articles about their own personal views of anything. As Americans we get to express these views every day. We get the chance to express this freedom every day we go out into the world. An Essay The Best American Value... is Individual Freedom Page 28 ESPRIT
