Boris Returns a Marine!

From Drumbeat to Duty: Hingham Militia’s Boris Goldin Returns as a U.S. Marine

It is with immense pride and heartfelt admiration that the Hingham Militia welcomes home one of our own, Boris Goldin, who has completed his training at Parris Island and now stands among the few and the proud—as a United States Marine.

Boris’s journey is as inspiring as it is unique. Born in Chile, raised in Ukraine, and eventually making his home in Hingham, Massachusetts, Boris has lived a life that spans nations and cultures—but always pointed toward a purpose. From a young age, he knew he wanted to represent liberty and freedom in a meaningful way. That clarity of mission led him, during his junior year of high school, to commit to the United States Marine Corps. At a time when many of today’s youth don’t see military service as a viable path, Boris stood tall and chose to serve—a rare and courageous decision that speaks volumes about his character.

His early leadership shone brightly through his time in the Hingham Militia, where he served as our drummer—providing not only the beat that held our ranks together, but the spirit that carried us forward. Whether in parade or in camp, Boris embodied the values we cherish: discipline, dedication, patriotism, and humility. He didn’t just study history—he lived it. And now, he helps write the next chapter.

In the words of his proud mother, Patricia Correa Polyschuk:

“Thank you very much, Captain Kevin. We so appreciate it. My family and Boris feels blessed to be a part of the Hingham Militia family. Thanks for all your support. We still participate in your activities. My best regards.”

To Boris: Your path has inspired an entire community. We are proud beyond words—not just because you’ve returned a Marine, but because you remind us all that service, freedom, and sacrifice are still alive in this generation. Your Hingham Militia family salutes you with gratitude and respect. Semper Fi, Marine—and welcome home.
