I'm sure the Marine Corps will honor him with the appropriate decoration.

It's beyond my meager abilities to honor him with the appropriate words.

They probably would if there WAS such a thing as a CMH.

I believe you may have it confused with the MOH.

As a father who has lost a child I forward these words to Mr. Morel in dealing with his family's loss. For me it has been 5 years. It gets better but not in a way that an illness gets better. I have found that the horrible pain does not paralyze me as it once did. However, my daughter is never far from my thoughts. The pain of others touches me in a way I was unable to understand prior to her death.Things that ate at me in the past especially trivial things no longer get in the way of me moving forward. I have learned to persevere because I have suffered through a pain that I thought was going to literally kill me from a broken heart. A pain that cannot be described.

My prayers go out to the Morel family and for their son. GOD bless you.

They should but he was just another Leatherneck doing what he should do. He's joined a pantheon of heroes in Heaven. Men like Ol Gimlet Eye, Manila John Basilone, John Bradley, Chesty Puller and THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of unsung Marines who did the right thing at the right time and no one ever saw it but God.
