Myself and Corporal John Lee were platoonmates with Justin Swanson. He was absolutely the most motivated and most passionate about becoming a U.S. Marine in the platoon. He had a certain quality about him that attracted numerous friends and I certainly am honored to have known him for those short 3 months in boot camp.

Lance Corporal Justin Swanson...Semper Fidelis.

Devil Dog, your story motivates me and makes me want to go back to out there. Unfortunately youve joined the ranks in heaven with more of our brothers. I rather you all were here. Thanks for reminding me why I love the Marines so much. Rest in Peace Brother. I know youre guarding heavens gates.

To Justin's family--thank you for bringing your son into the world to represent freedom at it's utmost cost--a life. May G-d comfort you as you grieve--may G-d provide arms to embrace you with hugs and ears to listen to the wonderful stories you have to share.
Love you through Christ.

I didn't know Justin. He graduated from Buena Park High School with my son. Last Sunday morning I was reading the paper and my son walked by and grabbed it out of my hand - he kept saying, no way, no way - over and over again.
In todays times and with our children fighting for our freedom, this is a very sad time for all. Thank you Justin for protecting all of us here in the United States. You were taken too early. My deepest sympathy to your family and friends, especially your Mom - I can't imagine the pain. God Bless!

Justin and I went to buena park high school, every day I saw him he always looked so serious and was a very happy person. He had a lot of respect for everyone no matter who they were. God bless him! We will always have you in our heart bro. See you on the other side.
