ReplyDeleteYou made the ultimate sacrifice for people like me. I never knew you but I will remember you.
This Canadian salutes you and your sacrifice for all of our freedom. And a special blessing to his father, Burl, and his very moving tribute to his son on Dennis Prager's show today. I was moved to tears. God Bless you.
ReplyDeleteThis man was my cousin. I cannot tell you how much it still hurts that we have lost this amazing soul.
ReplyDeleteWhat the articles don't tell you is what the person is like. Mark was incredibly smart, loved vintage cars, and , loved his family more than anything else in the world. His wife Danielle is still not recovered, almost a year later. His three-year-old son Finn asks where his daddy is every day. Mark was killed while his wife was eight months pregnant with their second child, Caiti. Caiti is now almost eight months old, forced to live without ever knowing her amazing father.
I think it's unfair that people are devistated when people like Whitney Houston or Michael Jackson dies, but every single day, they don't care nor think anything about the fact that brave men and women are dying for them. Please, remember Mark, and everyone else who has given everything to fight for our country.
