God bless this good boy who grew up to be a good man.
Forgive us if we are not worthy his sacrifice; but if he thought us so, we should be so...

I'm often humbled by the sacrifices young men and women make so that my children can grow up in a safer world. I hope my life is worthy of their sacrifice for me.
Semper fi Marine. Thank you.
