Greatness forged from war
Posted: August 31, 2007
This is a story of two stars that burn brightly, one gold and one blue, both bathed in the light of a mother's love.
Marc Alan Lee was 28 years old when he gave his own life to save the lives of others who were trapped in a building that was taking heavy fire.
He was the first Navy Seal to die in Iraq.
As reported by the Blackfive.net military web log, "U.S. Navy officers told his mother, Debbie Lee, that her son died minutes after he single-handedly held off enemy fighters as his team rescued a soldier wounded on a rooftop by a sniper."
Marc was the joy of Debbie Lee's life from the time he was a ball-of-fire toddler, growing into a young teen who had a wicked sense of humor, repeating his jokes to his boyhood pals, while Mom laughed a thousand times at the same punch line.
Debbie home-schooled Marc for many years, but he played soccer with the other kids who went to public schools. Debbie says she clings to the memory that Marc wasn't embarrassed to reach over and kiss her, even if his buddies were watching.
Marc was very determined from an early age, perhaps because no one tamped down his expectations from life, even though Marc's dad passed away and Debbie was raising him alone.

Again, the world is not worthy of people like this. RIP, Marc.
We owe our freedom to our brave military and their courageous families. May God bless them and keep them.
“If our son’s and daughters are brave enough to sign up and fight for this country then shouldn’t we do whatever we can to stand up and support them?”
THIS...needs to be tattooed on EVERY loser/traitor politicos’ forehead, so they can see it every time they look into a mirror!
God Bless our men and women in uniform all over the world!
If you know of any others, let her know.
I think there was more to the article, but my screen suddenly got blurry.
RIP, hero. Anyone with a soul grieves for you.

Yep, its these stories that they don’t want you to see or hear...
But the word always manages to get out, and it gets to the right people...
We know the truth...
Why is it the filth of this country, the Cindy Sheehans, the John Murthas get all the press? (Rhetorical Question) It’s alomst as if the Matt Lauers and the Barbara Walters and the Kieth Olbermans want our defeat and humiliation. EVEN WHEN THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS WANT VICTORY AND HONOR. WTF?!?
thanks for posting

May the Lord take this soul unto Him, and that he know love. May we remember this sacrifice by living like we were worth that sacrifice.....
Thank you SEAL, you kept us free. May the Lord hold you and your family in the palm of His hand.
