This young man's conduct as a marine and his act of courage, bravery and self-sacrifice, jumping into a raging river to try and save someone else's life, touched me on a level such that it begs me ask the question: Would I do the same? The loss of his life should not be mourned by a few, or many, it should be mourned by all.Spockgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12157257995250966351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708573327624049255.post-57072387331265504942010-08-02T07:47:39.985-07:002010-08-02T07:47:39.985-07:001st Sgt, first of all let me say that your the bes...1st Sgt, first of all let me say that your the best 1st Sgt ive ever had the pleasure to know and be trained by.

Slags like me sit on our collective duffs and whine about minor inconvenience, while we are protected, defended, and put to shame by the shining spirits of our betters. Sergeant Wrightsman (I'll bet my bootlaces the bump up is authorized already), you show us all what it's really about.

After returning from Iraq in 2009, 3/3 saw a significant turnover in personnel, resulting in a large percentage of boot Marines (including my son in Co. K). Cpl Wrightsman volunteered to remain with Kilo to lend some experience to those Marines.<br />What a Marine! Speaking as a 'nasty civilian', the Corps' ability to attract and retain the quantities of this caliber of man is astounding. I am humbled and proud that my son will carry Cpl Wrightsman's memory with him, and use that memory as an inspiration.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445252373799553823noreply@blogger.com
