Rest in peace, Marine. Thank you for your service. What your platoon brothers did for your son is amazing.

@Tyler-vw9bh 3 месяца назад

I make a point to see at least one of my boys every year in person (have exceeded that goal every time). Phones have made it easy for my generation; I always think about how tough that must have been for the Marines who came before. I can't imagine going through WW1, WW2, or Vietnam with someone then losing contact as life takes its turns.

@markl2322 3 дня назад

I haven't seen my fellow Platoon members (1074) in over 47 years. But if I were to bump into one of them tomorrow, I'd be buying him a beer (or Bourbon--as befits our current age), and start sharing memories with him. That would be after the both of us dropped un-ashamed tears, and hugged each other for at least 20 minutes.

@phillnorman 3 месяца назад

Sorry for your loss. As soldiers, all we think about when doing work is family. There's nothing better than family. As you can see from the video. He had 4 uncles, making sure that he was supported. You become family when you serve together, and it goes well beyond the military. Congrats....I'll bet you'll make one hellava marine🫡

About 50 years ago I went to a Navy Aviation School. About 1/3 of the class were Marines and the camaraderie between them was on a higher level than the sailors. I used to run 3 miles by myself on Saturdays for fun and sometimes would pass them as they ran in their group as they were required to do it. They invited me to run with them after seeing me a few weeks by myself. They called me their Swabby Brother.

Beautiful and yet heart breaking. Irrespective of the country or unit or service, brothers-in-arms are brothers for life…. Only those that have taken the oath will know and truly understand this… it is this notion that sets us apart from the rest of society. May your father find eternal peace, he like your brother makes your country, Corp and family proud… As we say in the UK, stand down marine (soldier), your stag is over, see you at the FRV.

My father's father died while my dad was in USMC boot camp in 1943. When my dad passed away in the 90s, guys who served in the Marines with my dad in the Pacific came to his viewing and funeral to share with me what an amazing guy my dad was, what a great buddy, a great Marine who risked his life for his brothers in the Corps though he was only 18 at the time. It meant so much to me. Once a Marine, always a Marine. I know my dad was smiling down and that it meant a lot to him, too. Semper Fi dad. ❤
