AM: 1 Shipp Twin Returns Home

“No matter how (bad) of a day you had, you come home, and he’ll make it better,” Robert Shipp said about his 2-year-old son, Hunter, at their home in Rathdrum on Tuesday. Robert served four years with the U.S. Marines, including time in Kuwait and Afghanistan. Five years after they joined the Marines, one of the Shipp twins is home and thankful for help from family and veterans programs. Alison Boggs and photographer Kathy Plonka catch up with the twins from Hauser who joined the Marines together here.
