His greatest feat was his last. Like so many other Marines, saving lives is a common finale in this world. Rest well Marine.

Rest in peace friend.
May he find in death the peace he wished for in life?
I hope he had permission from his drill Sargent.

Well,
of course we should all honor this man.
But I must admit the related infomation about the situation saddens me on a level I find too difficult for words.

People make mistakes, they get them selves into situations they can't get out of. This man, I believe was working towards getting himself back on his feet. He may have succeeded, he may have failed. Fortunately his last act showed his true Character.
