An American Hero

Go read Beth's first hand account of a Marine laid to rest over at Blue Star Chronicles.

An American Soldier was laid to rest today. He was eulogized, honored and buried with full Marine military honors.

The ceremony was spectacular and heartbreaking.

He had served his country for over 20 years as a Marine. He had served his community as a law enforcement officer. And in the last year, he had served his country again, training Iraqi soldiers. He was killed in Iraq by an IED. It took 11 days to bring him home.

If you aren't in a puddle of tears by the end, you aren't human.

Please go read her account.  There is not one thing I can say that will do it any justice.
