SGT Justin Jenson and SGT Carlos Garza are both based out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina
and will be arriving at Hobby Airport on Saturday, February 9 at 5:20 PM.
This is truly an exciting moment for both families, who did not know, until they were brought together by PGR,
that the other Marine was arriving on the same flight from Camp Lejeune!
SGT Justin Jenson, USMC has been proudly serving our country for 5 years,
and is returning to Houston from Afghanistan. This tour was his first tour in a combat zone.
SGT Jenson is 24 years old and a 2002 graduate from La Porte High School,
where he was on the Varsity football team.
He also received the highest award in the Boy Scouts and became an Eagle Scout.
His younger sister, Katie, is a private in the Army working on becoming a K-9 handler.
When Justin’s two week leave here is over, he will be transferred to San Angelo, TX.
Justin reenlisted and will be a member of the UMSC for another 4 years.
Mr. Jenson is thrilled that the PGR will be SURPRISING his son and is truly proud of his young Marine
and knows that Justin is looking forward to seeing his dog Lacey.
SGT Carlos Garza is returning to Channelview, TX from his second tour in Iraq.
SGT Garza is 23 years old and has one brother, and three sisters.
SGT Garza graduated from Northshore High School where he was the star kicker for their Varsity football team.
