Even as a high school senior, Todd J. Godwin was already dedicated to the Marines. Godwin joined the Marines under a delayed enrollment program his senior year and worked out with them while attending classes, said Paul Shaver, principal of Zanesville Christian School in Zanesville, N.C. Godwin, 21, died July 20 of shrapnel wounds to his face after a bomb exploded while he was conducting combat operations in Iraq's Anbar province. He was stationed at Camp Lejeune, N.C. Godwin was a fun-loving, well-liked and determined student who was a starter on the basketball team. "If there was something he wanted to accomplish then he was determined enough to make sure that he followed through with that," said Shaver, who also is the school's basketball coach. "His goal was to be a Marine. He wanted to be the best Marine he could be." Godwin is survived by his parents, Bill and Nancy Kathleen Godwin.

How long it has been, handsome, dearly loved one, but how often I think of you and your parents. In fact, it's about them and Almighty God that I referenced 'dearly loved one' and I think we're all comforted knowing that this has never been about 'goodbye' but looking forward to the reunion. You are never forgotten and I look forward to meeting you face to face.

To the family and friends of Cpl. Todd J. Godwin:
It has truly been my honor to sign Todd's guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that Todd will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy
