Semper Fi Marine, may you Rest In Peace my friend, it was a big shock to our circle of friends when you were declared K.I.A., it shocked so many of us who grew you with you from the neighborhood and especially those of us who went to school with you. Sadly, many of our age group did not come home the way we left from this war. I still cry when I see your name on the monument at Jardel recreation center.
