Not sure what to say?

Burleson family, I was saddened to hear of your dad passing. We lived across the street from him for about 11 years. We thought so highly of him. My son loved seeing "Mr. B" out in the yard and loved the marine mementos that he would give him.

The first words that came to mind after reading the report was: "just another Marine reporting sir; I've served my time in Hell"!!! Semper Fi!!
