Being in the Marines tore away all the negative things about him and polished the good things. My little brother became a mature and responsible man. His head was no longer in the clouds.

    Two memories of Scott E. Dickinson

    Our hearts and prayers go out to Scott E. Dickinson for his service to our Country. And to his family, we extend our sincerest condolence with their loss of a family member. We are not only of the Dickinson clan, but also the parents of a U.S. Marine who is also currently serving in Helmand province in this God awful "war". God bless Scott and his family and those that knew and loved him. There is no greater loss than a loved one. And, God bless the Marines! Hoorah!

    I am very sorry to the famliy and friends of Scott E Dickinson given that is a hard time for you i would like to share a comforting message found in the bible at Rev 21:4 And he will wipeout every tear from their eye and death will be no more neither will mourning no outcry be anymore. The former things have passed away I hope that in your time of grief you can take comfort in this hope
