ReplyDeleteYou made the ultimate sacrifice for people like me. I never knew you but I will remember you.
I watched Cpl. Stanton grow up as he and his family were neighbors of ours in RSM. He and my daughter went to school together. Words cannot express my grief and sadness at his passing. I can't imagine the pain his family is feeling right now. I am praying for the Stanton family and his fiance. Thank you Jordan for your service to our country and your ultimate sacrifice. RIP. You are America's son and we love you.
