Good double tissue article but a small nitpick: the USAF PIO needs to learn to use USMC rank properly. It should have read PFC or Pfc., not Private as those are two different ranks. He gave his life for us so the least we can do is get the rank right.

Rather innocuous; his rank as a PFC was established in the first paragraph. Informally referring, for the sake of brevity, to a PFC as a Private is no big deal. Just as is referring to a Lance Corporal as Corporal, a Second or First Lieutenant as Lieutenant, a Lieutenant Colonel as Colonel, a Brigadier General as General, etc.
