Anthony Rivas

Sergeant in United States Marine Corps, Retired
My son-in-law Anthony Rivas, served for 13 years in the United States Marine Corp. He was deployed 7 times to support Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. After several close calls, a bullet hole and many invisible wounds of war, he returned to civilian life. We are all very proud of his commitment and that he is now part of our family. Albeit a civilian, Anthony still brings that Marine Corp discipline to all of us. But, as his father-in-law and Commanding Officer of the Family, I order him call me “General”!
