    THANK YOU FOR YOUR CARING AND PRAYERS

    I want to thank you all for your outpouring of love, caring and prayers!!!  I am truly so fortunate to have found you all and treasure your friendships!!  Even though we have not met 'face to face', I feel that I know you all!     My son's  Celebration of Life Remembrance was beautiful and the DVD we put together of his life, from birth to present was well received and we have requests for over 20 copies from friends and family members!   The PGR told me that I was ruining their reputation as 'tough biker dudes' because of their tears when they saw the DVD!    I told the vets from the PGR and also my CACO about you all and how much you have helped me!!  My CACO, CAPT Sam Spencer, USMC, has asked me to send him the info on this site and I have done so, so maybe you all will see him on here in the near future!    

    Once again, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU, and God Bless you everyone!!!!!

    Glad you're back, Maggie.  I hope that Capt. Spencer is able to join us as well as some of your PGR escorts.  Perhaps, as a Christmas present to us, you might be able to get Josh's life DVD on line where we might meet the Corporal.

     God bless you, Maggie. What you have been through I cannot imagine but I am so happy to hear that the celebration of your extraordinary son's life gave you some cheer. Welcome home. We DO love you.

    Maggie,I've been offline for a while and I have wondered how everything went with your son's Celebration of Life. You've been in my thoughts and prayers. Glad to hear everything went well,or as well as something like this could be for you and your family.

    I'd be interested in obtaining a dvd myself and I'll be glad to pay you for it and for mailing it to me. Just email me at bamamarine7276@gmail.com   and I'll send you my postal address.

    Glad to hear you had another Marine named Spencer to help you. Take care and God bless.

       Semper Fidelis,
           Chris Spencer

    Later that night, while I was thinking about the day's somber events, Cpl. Richard A. Mason, an infantryman with Headquarters Platoon, who, in the short time I was with the company became a good friend, told me, "You're still here, don't forget that. Tell your kids, your grandkids, what Sgt. Peralta did for you and the other Marines today."
    Quote from a story written by combat correspondent LCpl Travis J. Kaemmerer who,unfortunately,died in a car crash in Virginia after returning from Iraq.
