Dedicated to the 26 Marines and 1 Sailor of 1st Battalion 3rd Marine
Regiment stationed out of Kaneohe Bay Marine Corps Base Hawaii, and
4 maintenance aircrew members of HMH-361 stationed out of Miramar,
California . . . 31 heroes we lost in a helicopter crash near Ar
Rutbah, Iraq on January 26, 2005, and in honor of those Marine who
will carry on.
"I cannot adequately describe how deeply this heart gripping presentation of honoring fallen Marines by fellow Marines and loved ones impacted me . . . (Memories of my son in Iraq relived again too.) . . . So, please take the time to view this very moving testament of duty, honor, pride, and valor to the end . . . that also represents how troops of every military service pays tribute to theirs and every fellow American's fallen brave ones . . . Semper Fi and God bless to all who have paid the ultimate price for the USA!" David G. Bancroft, founder of USA Patriotism!
"We are filled with pride in our citizens of this great nation we live in. Because of the sacrifices of so many of our viewers and their family members, we in America enjoy the freedoms most people dare only dream of. We are also grateful each day that our own sons are well and serving in the United States Marine Corps." Sandra Gilcher and Julie (Sharp) Worden
