Doc, we thought the world of you Corpsmen, too.

All my Marine funerals were at sea, it was kind of a private thing for our squadron alone held in the hanger decks. No casket, no flag draped anywhere, just a squadron formation and a few tears and a lot of people holding back tears.

this article took me almost a week to read - major hanky alert. This is a keeper.

One of the most well-written articles I've read in quite some time. Considering the subject matter - it was very respectfully done.

Semper Fi!
