Prayers sent to his family. As details are shared, please keep us up to speed on the plans of a home comming for this soldier. There are a lot of us INGO-ers in and around South Central Indiana.

We've seen some videos on the internet about very nice homecomings with a lot of civilians lining the streets with flags. Think we could do the same.

I suggest we find out if they will be traveling from Indy to Columbus and line 65 with flags.

I would defiantly be down with that. The Columbus paper said, there are no funeral arrangements yet I guess. This really hits home, because I have a very good friend there now. Who is also in the Marine Corp!

RIP to a true American Hero. God bless him and his family. Prayers sent for his family, brothers in arms, friends and his community.

My prayers and sympathies to his family and friends. I had a friend over there, but she is back now. They keep talking about sending her over for a second time, but she may be out before then. She married a close friend of mine (I was best man) and has become a great mother to the 3 kids he has. Their biological mother is still very much in the picture, but having a mature women in the house is a big help, especially to his daughter.

I also would be up for a homecoming presents and the USO should probably be notified as well. In fact they may know before we do.

Rest In Peace.

Hopefully we can do something to help out the family or memorialize this Marine.

Fair winds and following seas, mate. Thank you for your service.

Any info on local arrangements? I read in the Seymour Tribune tonight the brief article with a picture of his flag draped casket arriving in Dover.



Would love the opportunity to thank this Marine's family for his ultimate sacrifice for my freedom.
