Semper Fi.

Among the bravest people in the entire world.

I pray that our leaders do not let that blood be shed in vain and that we get those cowardly 'terrorists' that kill using roadside bombs be made to pay many times more without their allies in the USA/MSM/ACLU/Etc interfering.

In war, we always lose some of our best. Forever indebted for their service and sacrifice.

Very powerful. I have seen this a few different times and it never falls to inspire and touch me.

God Bless these brave and honorable men, also watch over the families they have left behind.

I have seen these pictures before but it still brings tears to my eyes and a profound gratefulness to my heart for the brave men & women of our Armed Forces and for their families who sacrifice so much so the rest of us can enjoy the freedoms we have

Semper Fi

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS

GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES OF OUR TROOPS

'Misty as I read this.

God receive the souls of all those in thy grace felled in battle. Bless the Marine who carried this one home to his wife, and that she and his progeny may also be so hallowed.

And may God continue to Bless the United States.

The Rocky Mountain News story that went with this was equally powerful, and also won the Pulitzer. It followed the Marine casualty officer in the bottom picture, Major Beck, and showed what he did with the various families that he worked with. It also went into depth on 2LT Calley's funeral and the incredible bond that the Marines had. If you've got a single piece of heart in your body, you can't read it without crying.
