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.
On the Sunday morning show first hosted by Stephanopolous and now by Amanpour they list the names, age and hometown of those that have fallen the past week. I’ll look for your nephew there, Bob. My sincere condolences.
