When my son was killed in Iraq, this kid popped up on my radar. Was volunteering up at Bethesda Naval hospital and another guy wounded on the truck ended up there. We took care of that, together.
Never met the fellow though we promise to get together. Calls me on all the anniversary dates. We just remember the boy and time is immaterial. Some day the time will be right.
Semper Fi. Sorry for your lose. Count me as someone that owes you a debt of gratitude.
