I came across this young Marine's grave one day while walking through Mt. Hope cemetery. It struck me how young he was just 18. The same age I was when I enlisted so many years ago during the Vietnam conflict. This forever young Marine who left home a young boy but gave his life as a man and a brave Marine so that we all may be free. I post this here so all that see it may give their thanks and blessings for his ultimate sacrifice.
