Proud parents of Adair Marines get to share stories by chance

By Pam Kermeen
Special ColumbiaMagazine.com story

You should have been in the Medicine Shoppe this (Friday) afternoon! Two very proud parents of young Marines were discussing their pride and patriotism.

Dakota Myers' (Meyers/not sure) father and Daniel Kermeen's mama were engaged in quite a conversation. Dakota is currently home from Iraq and Daniel deploys in February 2008.

Les Cook, also a Marine, just left for Iraq in early October. We are very proud of these young men from Adair County.

May God bless them and keep them safe!
