Obviously not real Marines as depicted in the photos.
My name is William and I am the Executive Officer for the Harlem Youth Marines Inc., the cadet program that provided the honor guard for Nixmary's Funeral. After hearing of what happend, my CO decided that this young girl should have all the honors she deserved. It also touched us because we work with kids, and Its very sad when something like this happens. I have read the blogs, and even though we got some heat for what we did, its good to read that Marines and civilians alike appreciated the gesture. If anyone whats to know more about our program or our accomplishments, all they have to do is google the name "Harlem Youth Marines", and a host of information will come up.
