Frank Wallace, IV has been in the Marines for eight years. He has served in Iraq and Afghanistan. His contract is almost finished and he will be able to come home in a few months.
However, by then his father might be dead. His father is dying of cancer and probably does not have very much longer to live. He wishes nothing more than to spend time with his son while he still can. So far, his son will be able to take 10 days leave, but that is all.
Please join me in asking the Marine Corp. and the President to allow this marine to come home early. Let us thank him for his service by showing him the kindness and compassion that everyone deserves. He has served his country long enough, now is the time for his country to return the favor, and allow him to spend time with his father.

The military bureaucracy is crazy sometimes. Family comes first always. Let him go home.

This man has given enough for his country. Let him be with his dad for Gods sake.

My heart breaks reading this. 10 days is not enough time to say goodbye to a parent. Praying he gets to go home soon.

So unfair. I hope the higher ups see this and actually show some real compassion for once.

He served 8 years. The least they can do is give him the time to be with his dying father. DO THE RIGHT THING.
Bring him home now. Nobody should be denied this.
