SGT MAJOR MARTIN was the greatest man I knew. I didn't have a father around and was lacking a little parenting I guess you could say. He stepped up as he has many others and would pull me aside during or after class and would give me some stern talkings. While I was in his ROTC program, I also was pregnant. At first I was upset because I considered him as a father figure and once I found out I was pregnant I truly thought that he would have been disgusted with me. However, he wasn't. He put his arms around me and hugged my neck and told me everything would be fine, and would all work out. Now the daughter that I was pregnant with is 14 yrs old and also is attending North Mesquite High School. She is in the choir. Everyone says shes my twin. Lol. If he had seen her Im sure he would have agreed. Even though he has passed he will never ever be forgotten. He has made many changes in alot of peoples lives. We were all blessed to have such a great man in our lives. God Bless You SGT MAJOR MARTIN. You will forever be missed.
