My son is in the Marines and is stationed at Camp Lejeune. Even through boot camp my son was taught his fellow marines were his brothers. He stands true to that today. The marines is his family. I hope and pray that this young man did not kill one of his brothers. I do not care who you are or what type of problems you are having, you can not take a life of one of your brothers. I understand that war can change a person. We have a long line of Marines in our family. I am proud of all Marines and proud to say my son is a Marine. I guess I just expect more from Marines than any other branch of the military. I hope all marines learn from this. Be proud of who you are and what you stand for. You are the best, stand tall and make us proud to support. Don't disgrace what you faught to hard to be a part of. Being a marine is not easy. My prayers go out to the family of the young marine who lost his life.
