It was a long time ago in a country devastated by wars that I met this Marine with determination etched in his face

He had an attitude that was always upbeat and never hinted that he would accept defeat

Everyone in the platoon looked up to him and acknowledged his faith by believing his 
determination would insure their fate

He was always there no matter the situation and would fight 'til death to prove his dedication

He was a Marine where no boundaries could stop him and his determination would never desert him

Many  years have passed since the war has ended and nothing has changed

He continues to be  challenged but never stops fighting for he always knows God is with him 

His wife and daughter, forever faithful, believing and caring without  hesitation

His friends and fellow marines are still with him praying each day for his full recovery

When he can be at our side rekindling old memories
