In many ways, Becca and Jerrico Satryan’s love story is typical of the Marine Corps: They met in Florida while Jerrico was on leave from Japan, fell in love at first sight, got married a year and a half later, and had three sons.

Life, they thought, would have certain assurances, a sense of security. They were young, but Jerrico was a veteran. There’s an unspoken rule with military service: He’d risked his life for the United States, and the U.S. government would now care for him and his family.

Becca and Jerrico moved to the Laurel Bay housing base for Marines in Beaufort in 2013. At the time, their eldest son Jionni (or JJ, as his parents call him), had just turned 1.
