Here’s the poem Tony Molina wrote from boot camp, asking Candice Fleming to marry him:

“Today at the square, I played in the sand

When I opened my fingers, it fell through my hand.

But when I held on real tight, little went through

Every time I did this, I thought about you.

Now I’ve never given up in any type of strife

So I’m not about to give up on my entire life.

I love my God, and my Corps, too

I love my family and I love you.

I have lived 19 years and to this day

About anyone else, I’ve never felt this way.

Since I’m not there in person, imagine I’m on bended knee

Saying, ‘My Little Princess, Will you marry me?’”
