Service Stories

Please share a story if you knew this Marine.

Justice died Monday morning at 0515. It really hurt because he was so well know n & well liked.... I don't know what he died of, but he did have a fractured scapula, clavicle, fractured skill, possible broken jaw & apparently was bleeding internally. It is very hard to go & collect a fellow's stuff to send home to his widowed mother.... He is the first of the men in the Battalion to die since it was formed a year ago.
