@ThrillaRilla369 Nice, I was not an attending church person. We knew each other when we saw a familiar face. I don’t know how they knew I was struggling and brought an entire Turkey fixings meal. It was a couple days before Thanksgiving. If not for that, we wouldn’t have had thanksgiving dinner.
This is Lance Corporal Garland Ray ‘Buddy’ Mann.
20 years old.
Watch this video for a minute and you’ll notice something.
He doesn’t look like a history book.
He looks like a kid.
A kid who should’ve had another 50 years ahead of him.
Buddy was killed in action shortly after this interview.
Every now and then it’s worth remembering that the freedoms we argue about online were often paid for by young men who never got the chance to come home and argue with us.
Semper Fi, Buddy.
