  2. You are a Hero, Bless your heart. May God be with your family. My brother gave his life just last month, he was also from 3/2. My prayers are with you.

  3. Peter was a remarkable man. He loved all and was a profound influence on everyone who knew him. His and his family's sacrifice are unknown for most in today's world. Peter died protecting all of us and his sacrifice needs to be cherished by all of us who enjoy the freedoms he died for. God bless Peter and his family.

  4. God Bless Peter and his family. My son is a fellow dog handler in the same unit as Peter. They trained together and served together. My son took it hard and said that Peter was one of the nicest guys he knew and that he was liked by everyone. My family prays for Peter and his family and the rest of 3/2.

  5. God bless his family. Such a tragic loss. Does anyone know the status of his dog? Is the dog still in service in Afghanistan? I pray for our brave young service people

  6. My son was with LC Clore when he was killed. I understand some villagers were chained together as a human shield. Every Marine that was there took his death hard. God Bless his family and all Marine families.
