God bless the USMC...and may God hold the family of this young man in his hands and close to his heart, to help them overcome their grief.

Sweet ...
BUT, I am surprised that Obama hasn't tried to take credit for this by saying that he ordered the Marine to stand the post ...

Yeah...it’s beautiful, wrenching, and touching all at once.
It’s American...and represents the best of who we are.
As a parent, my heart is ripped for this little guys family.
Again, God bless the Corps for doing this for those people.
I have no idea what else to say...

Yeah, I know... I just don’t want to infect this thread with anything to do with that particular guy, won’t even bring up his name. He’s irrelevant, as we’re speaking about MEN here.

Coming as I do from a family of WWII Army Airborne (father) and Pacific Marines (his brothers and cousins), I grew up with BOTH services dukeing it out, so to speak, in the family.
It made for some lively family gatherings...heheh

Every once in a while a story comes along to make you remember you’re human and have a heart...and that there really ARE good people left.
I hope this youngster’s family can find some peace.

In this case, I’d change it to “Uncle Sam’s Magnificent Children”.
