Default Marine Funeral

"This is the wife of a US Marine who was killed in the War in Iraq, She asked if she could sleep next to him for one last time, and the Marines made as good a bed for her as they could, she played music on the laptop which reminded her of her husband until she fell asleep.

As she was falling asleep, the Marine Standing guard asked her if she would like him to stay there. Her reply was " I think that's what he (her husband) would have wanted"

Man that is sad. The Marine had a good women there! A lot of women would be at the insurance company trying to get their check!

Very symbolic picture reflecting Duty & Honor - especially with the Marine standing there at attention all night.

Probably ranks up there in one of the hardest shifts that marine was ever called on to do.
