I'd love to read the rest of the story but it requires registration. Any chance you can give us the Reader's Digest version?

"...with no ambition for the day other than to be worthy."

How true.

Semper Fi, my brother.

Hopefully this was not a NYT puff piece on Uncle Teddy and he indeed was respectful of the Marine and family.

They have been known to make up things from time-to-time (ahem)

God Bless our Troops and their Families

The disconnect between those who serve and those of us who are beneficiaries
of their service has always felt great to me, but never greater than at that moment.


This will always be true.

God I hate t cry in the afternoon. May the parent find comfort and pride in the fact that their brave Marine did not die in vain.
