There is the last verse of the Hymn that goes;
Here's health to you and to our Corps
which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we've fought for life
and never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
ever look on Heaven's scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded by
UNITED STATES MARINES
He has reported to Chesty and is standing his post there.
The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY has blessed this man & his family!
I am sure that the paperwork is being submitted to HQMC for his MOH, but this will take some time :( , but the CMC will do the right thing and foreword to Congress recommending approval.
This man has walked in the footsteps of those Marines who came before him, in such places as Tarawa,Iwo Jima,Bellu Woods, Haiti, ect... Because where ever history is being made there will always be Marines there doing what has to be done no matter what price to be paid!

THE MANSIONS OF THE LORD To fallen soldiers let us sing
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
To the Mansions of the Lord
No more bleeding, no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
Just divine embrace, eternal light
In the Mansions of the Lord
Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard though the angels sleep
All through the ages safely keep
The Mansions of the Lord

Thank you for the hymn verse and the post. It wouldn't surprise me if it were true.
