Because of their actions, Barlue enlisted in the Marine Corps and is determined to give back and leave an impact where ever he goes. Barlue works endlessly to better himself physically, mentally and spiritually. He is a postal clerk with Headquarters and Support Battalion, Marine Corps Installations Pacific-Marine Corps Base Camp Butler, Japan. (U.S. Marine Photo by Lance Cpl. Tayler P. Schwamb)
