I took my son to the memorial service for Lt Blecksmith. He is an example to all. He did not have to go but answered the call. Semper Fi. You will not be forgetten.
A true Marine. One we are all proud of. You're not forgotten. Bless you. You are what memorial day is all about; Remembering the young men, who have sacrificed all for their country.
Semper Fi
