But I thank God for giving me the time he gave me with him and for giving me a baby with him. That's his mark on the world. |
Carry on my friend, guard the gates of heaven, Marine, |
great patriots, we call patients. |
He believed in his soldiers, and, in the true spirit of his profession, gave his life protecting his men. He was a true hero. |
He had so much potential. He was intelligent and determined. |
He just refused to go until he knew he had a welcoming place, |
He kind of helped me get out of that. |
He was a typical little brother — he liked to fight a lot. He liked to do stupid things, run around and have fun. |
He was always the most mature. He was also the kind of person who gave it all for his family and friends. |
He'll never be here for me to grow old with. He was my life. He was my love. He was my heart and soul. Never did I think that at the age of 31 I'd be a widow. |
I have a lot of anguish for the families who have lost a loved one, ... I hope they'll carry a certain amount of pride that their loved ones did not die in vain. |
I lost him, but, he was doing what he wanted to do, and believed in it. |
I salute his bravery. |
I tell my children, 'your daddy died doing something he loved.' He loved this country, his new country. He was trying for the American dream. |
lives that this nation might live. |
