Bridgeport, Pennsylvania
The night before he was killed, John Todd III phoned his wife, whom he married three days before shipping out. "I know he told her he loved her," his aunt, Kay Shinners said. "John was proud of the job he was doing. He was an excellent Marine." Todd, 25, of Bridgeport, Pa., was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq on June 29. His unit was based in Folsom, Pa., and was on its second deployment in Iraq. Todd, who loaded trucks for a window company and operated his own sign-painting business on the side, had joined his Marine Corps reserve unit four years ago, said Shinners. "He just wanted to be a Marine," Shinners said, adding that he showed no strong emotion about being called up for his second deployment in January. "He was going over to do what he needed to do _ his job," she said. Survivors include his wife, Colleen Rado.

Father we entrust our brother John to your mercy. You loved him greatly in this life: now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace forever. Welcome him now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
May God hold John in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My deepest sympathies.

In Memory of John Harrison ~ (Debra Estep)
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you...
