as hard as this is for an old Army guy to say....



"....you will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines."

I had to close it, because I am tearing up here at work. I will have to read the rest at home.

Thank you for sharing.

Let us never forget!!

Outstanding Doc, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for posting this!!

That must be the toughest job one could ever love. To give the grieving family that kind of attention and comfort.

Talk about just some outstanding human beings! If I ever run into Major Beck or any of his men, drinks and cigars are on me!

Stories like this are what should be on the 60min/Dateline/20-20 shows and the evening news.

I just can't even say what kind of respect I have for them.

Bravo Major, I applaud you!
