....And the Marine Corps. The Marine Corps that was his and grew to be mine as well. The Marine Corps we both love. The Marine Corps that I trust will always keep my beloved Cpl. Porto's memory alive for me and my daughter.
The Marine Corps that continues to deliver the last tangible items, the last pieces of him left. And the tape. The last promises he left for us, the last words we can hear repeated to remember he is always with us, promises unbroken.

Semper Fi and RIP Cpl. Jonathan D Porto.
May the Lord and his angels watch, care for and guard over your beautiful wife and daughter in your earthly absence. Mrs. P is certainly Semper Fi.

Ping for reading after work... Good idea. Their story is something to reflect on and you would be walking around work with red teary eyes after reading it.
