Marcques Jose Nettles

Hey man I still to this day remember on the way to Iraq sitting alone being attached to another unit (from 29 palms) but the corpsmen from Pendleton being friendly and you sharing a Toblerone that you bought with me in Germany then hanging out in Kuwait. I'll never forget the greeting to me when you arrived in Al Qaim, "Hey Corporal!" Then our chats. I wish the world had more of you, always cheerful.

Suzie, I am so sorry I was not around for you during this time, but I would love to get in touch and see you. Much love Abbey

I’m Marcques’s wife’s father. Today marks 18 years since his passing. Continue resting in peace Marcques.

This morning we were talking about Marcques at breakfast with our kids and the kids say that he sounds pretty nice to them. We read a book to our kids called, "How to Behave and Why" and when Ben described Marcques to the kids, they asked if Ben had read it to him when they were in the Navy. It is basically a book about how to treat other people with love and respect and Ben said that HE hadn't read it to Marcques, but that someone had taught him the lessons of the book because he always...
