I am truly blessed to have met your legacy and your family. Rest in Peace my fellow Marine. You have made the ultimate sacrifice.

Lcpl Geurin quickly showed that he was a leader of men, and established a team leader spot right after we deployed. He never complained, he never asked why, and he was always full of laughs. I am glad I served with him, and I hope he rest's in peace.

I was a freshman when he was a senior, and I specifically remember him asking another wrestler at a tournament at west hills to watch his mouth "because there are women and children here." That's when I really realized how much of a leader he was. I was at Kobey's swapmeet last weekend with my boyfriend and as we walked closer to this car in there, I noticed it had "Marines" in big bold letters. Then I noticed there were names and ranks of people all over it. I started looking, not really expecting (but hoping) to find someone. I overheard in another conversation around the car that it had names of marines (there was a different car for each branch of the service as well as one for local law enforcement) who had passed so far during this war. The conversation continued as I kept looking through the names and then this woman asked if I was looking for a specific name. I told her I was, but I wasn't sure if it would be on there. Sure enough, among many names, there is was: "LANCE CPL. CORY RYAN GEURIN". It was such a wonderful thing to see. I was in such awe that I just stood there looking at it, and then I would start to walk away and look back again. I now have a picture of it on my phone and I although I did not know Cory all that well, his memory sure does live on in many more people touched by him than we will ever know.
