❤️🤍💙 Happy 250th Birthday United States Marine Corps!!! 🇺🇸🎂 ❤️🤍💙
Today, as we celebrate the United States Marine Corps Birthday, we are honored to recognize Chief Warrant Officer Droste, one of the owners of All Points North Counseling Services. Kurt represents the very best of the Corps, leading with honor, humility, and compassion. When new graduates were struggling to carry their bags, he stepped forward to help, quietly embodying the true spirit of leadership and service.
The Marine Corps makes up only about 13% of the U.S. military. Within that small force, just 11% of Marines are officers and only 1% are Warrant Officers. This tight-knit, highly trained community often serves without fanfare, yet is trusted with some of the most demanding missions. Marines stand out for their elite training, discipline, and an unshakable commitment to the core values of honor, courage, and commitment.
Kurt began his career as an enlisted Marine and, through more than 20 years of dedication, earned the distinguished title of Chief Warrant Officer — a respected Mustang, an officer who rose from the enlisted ranks through perseverance, integrity, and commitment. Even as a civilian, Kurt continues to give back, volunteering with Fredericksburg Main Street and serving his community with the same devotion he brought to the Corps.
We also honor Parker, who recently graduated from Marine Corps boot camp, and Maggie, who has joined our company and brings her own Marine Corps experience and strength. Together with Marines everywhere, they reflect both the legacy and the future of the Corps.
Happy Birthday, Marines. ❤️🤍💙
