Dear Sgt Grit,
I sent a story that was probably too long to print. However, after reading it again, I realized that it may cause some pain for some people should they read it. At the time, I never considered what would happen should a family member read something that they never knew concerning their loved one. Whether it is the deseased next of kin or the Marines involved in his recovery. I spoke to a few of them already and they said that my memory was very accurate. Nevertheless, I don't believe that it would do any good for the family to read such details regarding their loved ones. Furthermore, I named some Marines that may have never told their children about what they experienced in the Corps. Maybe some memories are better left unspoken? Hopefully, you can ensure that it is not posted. Thanks in advance. Semper Fi.
