A man who knows who to honor, and why.
All gave some. And some gave all.
My screen is blurry--why is that?
Thank you, Cpl. Owens for your service. May neither this country or the people of Iraq never forget yopur service and sacrifice to freedom.
"...the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid such a costly sacrifice upon the altar of freedom."--Abraham Lincoln (letter to Mrs. Bixby)
May God bless him and all our troops.
Duty, Honor, Country. The code of life.
...reminding me again why being a Marine shaped my life more than anything except my Christianity. God bless this young man and his family.
I guess it's pertinent to add "the lowest rating " to the story! Any chance at a dig! God bless this brave soldier. He is what America is all about
.....And how marrying a Marine shaped my life more than anything except Christianity.
I had no idea, c8r....no wonder there is so much to like about you! Thanks for your service.
It was my honor to serve. I would do it again in an instant. (The spirit would be willing....the body may have other ideas!)
Words cannot express our heartfelt thanks for your willingness to defend this great nation. You are loved and appreciated---a true role model for the youth of America and a symbol of the hope that we have for freedom around the world. May the Lord provide for all Your needs---just as He has promised---and may the rest of your life be filled with all the fullness that you so richly deserve. Thank you and may God bless you.
Very moving picture. God bless this soldier.
Must be a problem with FR, my screen went blurry too.

...and my keyboard's a little damp, too.
And a very fine salute indeed! God Bless you Cpl Owens, your family and our beloved Corps!
