Today is the date where we as a nation remember fallen warriors. I will always honor and respect veterans who died serving their country. I owe a debt of gratitude to the following Marines died while serving the brothers of the 1st Battalion, 24th Marines as a part of Operation Iraqi Freedom 2006 to 2007 in the Al Anbar province. Lance Corporal Joshua Hines Sergeant Brock Babb Lance Corporal Tyler Overstreet Lance Corporal Richard Buerstetta Lance Corporal Jonathan Thornsberry Sergeant Thomas Gilbert Lance Corporal Troy Nealy Lance Corporal Minhee Kim Sergeant Byan Burgess Lance Corporal Jeremy Shock Lance Corporal Brent Beeler Lance Corporal Nicholas Miller Corporal Christopher Esckelson Private First Class William Spencer Corporal Jacob Neal Lance Corporal Luis Castillo Corporal Mark Kidd Lance Corporal Matthew Pathenos Private First Class Tarryl Hill Private First Class Brett Witteven Lance Corporal Bufford Vanslyke Staff Sergeant Marcus Golczynski Two of the marines listed above died while coming to aid a squad of Marines, which included me, after being ambushed and pinned down by gun fire in a field. So, when I say I owe Marines like those listed above my life, it’s no figure of speech, war is a hell of a way to skew ones perspective in life. May they rest in peace.
