Last days for Marine were true Finest hours (Old Marine honored)

Sometimes when old Marines die they do fade away into unmarked graves in Potter's field
Such might have been the case for Gaspar Musso, USMC 925050, who fought in the Battle of Tinian in the Marianas Islands in 1944 and who died Nov. 15, at age 84 in a Brooklyn nursing home.
Enter Police Officer Susan Porcello, a PBA delegate at the 68th Precinct in Bay Ridge, and one of those big-hearted New Yorkers who still make this the best city on Earth.

My sister is a police officer, my son, a Marine. I had to post this story -

Not all cops are JBT and not all Marines have "someone".

But, sometimes, they do.
