Wife with Marine watching over Fallen

One of the Marines, who had never met James in his whole life, asked if he could stand watch over Katherine through the night.

Katherine replied with the following:“I think it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it,” she said. “I think that’s what he would have wanted.”

Before falling to sleep, she opened her laptop and began playing songs with memories of the times she spent with James. RTWT: Story of Pulitzer Prize Photo : theCHIVE

Today I am humbly grateful.

This is what Marines do. And I'm always grateful when I am reminded of just what it is that Marines do.
