My cousin was killed in Afghanistan yesterday

He was a young Marine, only 19 and fresh out of boot camp. Had only been in Afghanistan for a couple of short weeks before an IED exploded next to the Humvee he was driving at the head of a convoy.

He was a great kid…smart and kind and the youngest of my 1st cousins. Our family is devastated right now, but proud of his bravery and service to his country.

My condolences to you and your family, Bob Ducca.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Bob. Your cousin was indeed a brave young man.
