A few weeks ago I blogged about a wounded warrior I met in San Antonio and his upbeat attitude. I also mentioned hearing a story while I was there about a young Marine who had just died up in the burn unit at Brooke Army Medical Center...a Marine whose spirit touched everyone he encountered.
-
I was reading the news tonight and saw that MSNBC is running a story about this Marine as part of their Memorial Day weekend coverage. I thought you might be interested in hearing "the rest of the story".
-
I don't know what you'll think after you read this story, but I know I'm going to say a prayer that he's dancing in heaven in his dress blues, inspiring the angels.

Hi Amber - You have been tagged. Please read my blog for the rules. Thanks!
That was a great article, Amber...a touchhing tribute to a brave soldier. It reminds me of something my grandmother always used to say to me: "God works in mysterious ways."
Oh Amber, I read that article yesterday and it brought tears to my eyes. It's a beautiful tribute to that young man's life and spirit but I am so sad for his family...
I hope they find comfort in the knowledge that he *is* dancing right now...paine free.
A most inspiring young man! His story should be required reading for anyone who whines about not having something. In my heart, I salute him and honor his brave struggle. May he dance with the utmost elegance, whole and handsome, inside and out.
