Ditto. I said the same thing after I had to do it. My wife screamed at the top of her lungs. Over and over and over...
That’s heartbreaking.
The mothers know, I think it is written in their heart.
The Marine Moms Online, know first despite official efforts to notify the parents first.
8 April 2006, a Marine friend was hit, our son was with him.
The moms knew something bad had happened, but not what.
The mother called my wife about her son, I heard my wife screaming.
I ran into the room she was crying and said it was Philip, her friend’s son.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Words are so inadequate - but our condolences to you and your family. We are indeed grateful for your son’s service.
