I give my thanks to those fallen Marines and all their brethren in all of our armed forces.  I give thanks to the islanders who gave their respect and honored our nation's sons who fell in her service.

I give thanks that our military will do it's best to try to bring everyone home.

Thank you and God Bless you each and every one of you and your families for your Duty, and your Sacrifice.
