Thanks for the link. Unlike Nick, who is single. This guy was married with a kid... I believe there is a fund being setup for this Marine's kid's education.
Xs best friend Cpl Coville, who was assigned 40 kliks north of Nick's sector was flown home briefly to attend the funeral. I'll paraphrase/condense his eulogy, 'Things are improving, we're killin' far more of them and I cant wait to return to my unit next week and get back to work!'
Gotta love these damn, crazy kids. Gives me hope. Steve
