I'll always remember you for being the stand up guy you were. You always had a positive attitude even when the rest of us didn't! When I look back on those days you are always on my mind! RIP Brother! Semper Fidelis!

I remember when I first met you while in boot-camp (3141 Kilo Co.) I was so motivated by your story as to what it took for you to join the Marines. When I look back and think of my time in the Marines your image always comes to mind. I will never forget you and will always remember you as a Marine Hero. SemperFi Brother!

I remember the motivation and desire you showed every day that you came to our office. It is young men like you that makes the Marine Corps what it is. Semper Fidelis.

I remember when he was trying to lose the weight to join the corps. I remember he told not to let anything stand in the way of what you want. I was in boot camp when I got the news that a fellow marine died serving their country from my recruiting station, i broke down and cried Justin, I love you bro and your always in my prayers and bless the Hunt family.

I never got to meet him, but I will always remember him. I was talking with him via internet right before he went on his last patrol - the one on which he was killed. He told me he would buzz me as soon as he returned from patrol and when I didn't hear from him I was worried. It broke my heart when I finally found out what had happened. Rest in peace, Justin. You will never be forgotten. Kelly Sun, 30 May 2010 06:31:15 -0700
