Context: I grew up with Shawn, we met in the 6th grade and remain great friends to this day. For the majority of the tremendous and sometimes crazy memories from my youth, Shawn was on the scene. Upon high school graduation, Shawn would also join the USMC, where he served an enlistment with 2nd Marine Recon Battalion. While serving, Shawn went home on libbo with a Marine from Colorado, met a girl along the way and has lived out in Detroit ever since.
