Yes this is an awesome story. Quite a remarkable woman. Mostly because she has managed to keep the proper perspective on her son’s being killed in action.

Thanks to the news media for a good story on the military.

To those claiming Marines are not Soldiers, Marines are in the business of Soldiering so just get over it.

Support World Peace.

Thanks for this story. What a lovely woman and what an impressive bunch of young Marines.
I delighted in the scene of the young lady running up and planting a smack on the Marine…his smile after…sweet.

AbuBakerSmith: Patrick was talking about adressing marines as “Marine” and not as a soldier. Technically, they are soldiers. It’s just a service thing. Just lighten up Francis.
