My son Justin served and was with Luke on the day of his passing. He was respected and admired by every marine that knew.
My thanks and condolences on this day. We will never forget him

It's been so long that Luke and I hung out for thanksgiving at my cousins. New Years in Vegas and that weekend in DC. I will never forget his charisma, joy and excitement. The guy knew how to keep my spirits up. Always, Henry.
