Never was there a more generous friend or more persuasive advocate for St. Bernard Parish than Chris San Marco. Chris was the patriarch of his family. He embodied the very best virtues of the Sicilian Italians and he will be missed by all who were privileged to know him.

It is the Veteran
In Honor of CW3 Christopher SanMarco, Louisiana National Guard

It's the
Veteran,
not the pastor/preacher, who has given us freedom of religion and worship.

It's the
Veteran,
not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.

It's the
Veteran,
not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

It's the
Veteran,
not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to assemble and demonstrate.

It's the
Veteran,
not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It's the
Veteran,
not the politician, who has given us the right to vote, ensures our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

It's the
Veteran,
Who salutes the Flag, who serves beneath the Flag and whose coffin is draped by the Flag, who gives the protester the right to burn the flag.

ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON CHRIS.
