Lol, and I just told someone the other day that most military news sources reported 'just the facts' - no spin, refreshing - 'cept the flowery, heartfelt, emotional stories at Marine Link...though I did forget the fine, inspiring Air Force Link editorials, and Army.mil Soldier Stories
(*sniff*).
Admit it, the stronger they are, the bigger the heart. (^:
Since this is an official site, the story has to be heavily edited to ever get printed. I'm sure if a Marine wrote a similar story, it would look very different than the original in an official publication.
