As a child I didn't see the hero . I do now. The marines trained him and he did what was needed,expected and more...3 times. There's one problem... My son didn't return.. What came home after 3 tours is not the boy who blossomed at Parris island but a grown man who can't seem to live the life he was meant to. He is my hero, in many ways he surely gave his life to keep his mother safe. I would gladly take his place ...Semper fi
