HONORING A BRAVE MARINE HERO
SOME CAME HALF WAY ROUND THE WORLD FROM PLACE'S LIKE BANGOR MAINE, FROM THE SMOKEY MOUNTAINS FROM THE PLAIN'S STATES AND THE STATES ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.TO THE GREAT LAKES AND THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST SOME CAME FROM OTHER COUNTRIES LIKE CANADA AND AUSTRALIA AND IRELAND, MANY CAME FROM THE AMERICAN TERR. LIKE PURETO RICO AND GUAM. THEY CAME TOGETHER TO FIGHT AGAINST THE COMMON ENEMY. TO HELP A FREE NATION SURVIVE. THESE MARINES GAVE THIER ALL SO THAT OTHERS WOULDNT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS THING CALLED FREEDOM. THANK YOU SIR'S SEMPER FI I KNOW YOU ARE GUARDING THE STREETS OF HEAVEN HAND SALUTE

First love never dies
I also met Terry skating. We were
Very close when he left. Received a letter after his burial which had been held.He said he knew he wasn't coming back. These early memories never die for any of us. Still miss you!
Love Penny

I still miss you...
I knew Terry from the Santa Barbara skating rink as my family almost lived there! Terry taught me how to skate backwards (rexing) and how to speed skate. Many wonderful memories of Terry. I remember his smile and how it would melt your heart. He has always held a very special place even after all this time. If I was to have an older brother, I would have wanted Terry to be him. Miss you my friend.

Our Family all Loved you so
I met Terry at the Fox theater in Santa Barbara the summer of 7th grade. He was so handsome,and fun and good at everything he did. He was an instant hit with my whole family. He and Steve (his brother) both. He loved to skate and I went to as many of his speed skating events as I could. He was just so full of life. I remember the day before he left he came to my door in his marine uniform and me being the coward that I am, begged him not to go. He wasn't having any of that. Being the person that he was, he gave everything he had to his country and family and friends. We loved him, we miss him and he will always be in our hearts. I was and still am very proud of him. Rest in peace Terry till we see you again

Fellow Marine
Well done Marine rest in peace
THE TIME you won your town the race We chaired you through the market-place Man and boy stood cheering by, And home we brought you shoulder-high. To-day, the road all runners come, Shoulder-high we bring you home, And set you at your threshold down, Townsman of a stiller town. Smart lad, to slip betimes away From fields where glory does not stay And early though the laurel grows It withers quicker than the rose. Eyes the shady night has shut Cannot see the record cut, And silence sounds no worse than cheers After earth has stopped the ears: Now you will not swell the rout Of lads that wore their honours out, Runners whom renown outran And the name died before the man. So set, before its echoes fade, The fleet foot on the sill of shade, And hold to the low lintel up The still-defended challenge-cup. And round that early-laurelled head Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead, And find unwithered on its curls The garland briefer than a girl’s. A.E. Housman, "Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you.
I've called your name. You're mine.

Terry and I used to play football in our early teens. He was a tough kid, but was always careful not to hurt anyone. He always seemed so happy. I think of him as a good friend. I am so very sorry that he has not been able to grow older with the rest of us.
