When I read this in my Sunday paper today, 2 quotes just jumped out at me. They really bring it all home:
"If I die, I'd die for all of America's freedom."
"He was over there fighting so my boy has a future — so that I can have a future," she said.
"I can't see why half of the world isn't here."

The actual title is:
"Spartanburg Marine gave all for freedom"
I screwed up my C&P and the preview doesn't show title :(

(This tagline was freed from an Iraqi prison by U.S. Armed Forces.)

"I didn't know how much he'd done for this community until a few weeks ago," a tearful Vance said. "He didn't brag about it."
Marines don't brag.. They labor and they fight against all odds, they dare to care when none other will and offer their lives as a sacrifice without question.
God Bless this young Marine and his family and friends.
Go with God, Marine. Receive your eternal reward; in the arms of a loving God. You are gone but not from the hearts of those who knew and loved you.

This boy died, so millions will know freedom.
He gave his life for others. Not unlike another man we all think of an Easter Sunday.
