    This photo illustration features an original photograph by U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Martha Linares. The accompanying text is from a cover article by Cindy Kirkman featured in the Summer 2024 publication Ground Warrior. In this article, a Gold Star Mother shares her story with the hope that Marines and Sailors practice a pause before taking a risk with potentially hazardous sea conditions. Sponsored by the Marine Corps Installations Pacific-Marine Corps Base Butler Safety Office, Jessica Niss briefs her story of love and hope to 7,500 Marines and Sailors, across six installations, over six days, as well as students attending Kubasaki and Kadena Air Base high schools in Okinawa, Japan. A powerful message that we are speck of dirt in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and it is unforgiving, so practice a pause, assess the risk before entering the ocean.
