U.S. Marine Corps 1st Lt. Steven Wember remembers spending time with his grandfather and father as a child, listening to their stories about being Marines and flying jets. The Crystal Lake native and 2015 Marian Central Catholic High School graduate decided at age 10 that it was the path he wanted to follow.
U.S. Marine Corps 1st Lt. Steven Wember remembers spending time with his grandfather and father as a child, listening to their stories about being Marines and flying jets.
Two years later, in 1990, Anthony's brother, Tom Wember, 55, of Bull Valley, also became a U.S. Marine jet pilot. Tom Wember was pinned at Naval Air Station Meridian in Mississippi. "You have to push yourself mentally and physically, and you have to prove yourself as a Marine before becoming a pilot," Steven Wember said.
Anthony Wember, who had graduated from Marquette University in Milwaukee with a civil engineering degree, said he joined the Marine Corps to pay for college.
"I'm just a proud grandpa. That's all, with all he's gone through," Paul Wember said recently."I've been there, and I know what he's been through. The Marine Corps doesn't make things easy, and now is very specialized." But if things turn serious, such as when war took Anthony Wember by surprise, and Steven Wember is sent into war, the elder Wembers said they have faith in him and his training.
