Murray was just 20 when he was killed on Nov. 20, 1943, as Marines landed against strong Japanese resistance on the tiny, coral reef-ringed island of Betio in the Tarawa Atoll of the Gilbert Islands.
The Marine is returning home to a country that has changed dramatically from the one he left. Thank you for your sacrifice I only wish that the majority of Americans would care to honor it.

Bless him, and so sad how the country he gave his life for has turned into a socialist crap home
