RIP Brother. Man it feels so weird to know even with his passing, those of us who knew the exploits of the greatest generation are also on the chopping block. No matter what happens in life, I can say I KNEW someone from WWII and he was related to me..in fact without him, my mom wouldn't be here, and neither would I. I say the same for the Nam guys. It surreal to know one and he's my father. I don't believe he died. Marines don't die anymore than a Soldier does, you go meet St. Pete, and wait for your orders to come up for your to come back down and kick some ass. Rest easy Brother....you'll be back.

SSG Warren Swan I couldn't agree more, Staff. With both my grandfather and father serving in the Navy, I know precisely what you mean.
