I am very saddened to hear of the loss of Martin. I had the privilege to serve with Martin in Iraq (2/11). He used to say the most outlandish things to get me to laugh. Which as anyone far from home knows, laughter is the best medicine. He was a great Marine and an Amazing Man. I send my thoughts and prayers to his family.

My life is better for having known Martin. He had the unfailing ability to brighten any room he entered and scarce are the times I saw him without his signature grin of devilish mischief! My heart goes out to all.

My deepest and sincerest sympathy to the Scahill family. I had the privelage of serving with Martin in Camp Pendleton. He had a wonderful sense of humor, and was a great person. He will be missed.

Ancient Egyptians believed that upon death
they would be asked two questions
and their answers would determine
whether they could continue their journey in the afterlife.
The first question was, "Did you bring joy?"
The second was, "Did you find joy?
Marty (or as I called him, Marty Mar) brought joy to every life he touched. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers to his family during this time. He will be greatly missed.
