MARSHFIELD, Mass. (WKRC/WCVB/CNN Newsource) - A mother in Massachusetts is feeling sad, but full of pride as her triplet sons prepare to join the US Marine Corps.

'It's very honorable, very courageous': Triplets decide to enlist in Marine Corps (WCVB, Michelle Wehr/Family Handout, CNN/CNN Newsource)

Michelle Wehr has watched her 18-year-old sons, Griffin, Matt, and Connor, grow from preemies into wonderful young men.

"I never thought in a million years that this would happen," she said.

Instead of college, all three boys have decided to serve their country.

"I didn't have plans for school, so why not the military?" said Griffin.

"I'm going to ship off, like, in July, going to boot camp for 13 weeks and after that, I'll be going aviation support," said Matt.

"I just saw them doing it and I thought it was a good opportunity," said Connor.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Not to worry, they will make up for it when they come home on leave..  :silly:
