No better friend, a quiet hero who always put others first. As a member of Force Recon, he could never talk about what he had done or where he had been....but for his fellow Marines, he was a Marine's Marine....the best of the best.
The world will be a darker pace without you my brother.
Love, respect and condolences to your family.

We joined he Corps together and went through boot camp together, then you went one way and I went off to missiles and stuff. Tried to track you down over the years but, as we moved up and down the state a lot, was never able to make contact. You will be missed, dear friend! More than you know.
Semper Fi, Mac!!!!!
