Six memories of Camella M. Steedley

“

I couldn't hold back the tears on you Camella...

Though I don't know you personally, I couldn't help but swell up in tears given your circumstance - mother of 4 wonderful and beautiful children. Being a Marine and father myself, I've lost friends in Iraq and it hurts to think about them not having the opportunity to have a family, but it hurts even more to hear about mothers not coming home. I broke down in tears when I saw the picture of you and your wonderful family. I've always believed that women should be protected and never placed in harms way. My prayers go out for your husband and your children. I know that your children will grow up and know that mom was a fighter, and that she gave it all. May they and the country forever honor your memory and sacrifice.

Semper Fidelis.
