And that was his dream and now one thing that makes me proud is that he did live his dream. |
He had to go sign up. There was no stopping him then. |
He knew that was me talking if he heard that. |
It was just a terrible feeling. |
One of his friends was going home that night and he saw something on the side of the road. |
Something special for him but also to show the community that this was a marine who was proud to serve his country. And was even willing to give his life. |
That to me is comforting. That's where I find my comfort. |
The headstone had just been placed the day before and when I saw the grave and part of it was empty, it was like they killed my son again. |
They're known sometimes as a guardian angel to their fellow marines and to watch over and protect them. |
When we drove up to the cemetery that night, it was just like he had been killed all over again. |
