May the memory of your son live on for all eternity and his sacrifice be recognized forever.

I remember the photos. At my time, they were just the front of a blues jacket, no back. Take the photos early in boot camp, why if you ever see a real collection, everyone has a “deer in the headlights” look. You are still in a bit of shock. Rather’s shiite eating grin is way out of place.

Fake but accurate.

Thank you both.

Stuff happens. As I sometimes say, it can’t always be someone else’s son. So be it.

In “Stolen Valor” B.G. Burkett and Glenna Whitley exposed Rather whose colleagues at CBS sometimes referred to him as “an old Marine” or “ex-Marine.” Rather entered the Marine Corps in January 1954, was physically or emotionally unable to complete recruit training, and was discharged in May 1954 as being “medically unfit.”

God Bless Him. God Bless You and Your Loved Ones.

Here’s health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we’ve fought for life
And never lost our nerve.
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.

A salute for his service. Sorry for your loss.

This is from 2004.

He is a lying douchebag, so take with a grain of salt.

I’ve heard him interviewed on this topic, says he failed to disclose he had rheumatic fever as a kid when he joined, was discovered by a doctor after about 3 months and he was booted.

Your post is heartbreaking. May God bless your family and may He hold your son in His loving arms.

Words can never express my gratitude for the bravery and sacrifice of men like your son and families like yours.
