Thanks for your service. You gave the ultimate sacrifice, the one most of us never have to make, but would to protect our brothers and sisters in combat. Some gave all, all gave some. Semper Fi.

An act so courageous should be qualified for the CMH. The recognition of naming a vessel in his honor is more than deserving, it reaches the level of "JUST"

Honoring this young Marine for his valor, in saving his fellow Marines would be a fitting tribute.

A tribute such as the naming of a US Navy Destroyer is most befitting of this young man's selfless act. Our prayers are with his family; I know their pain; my brother was killed on September 11, 2001; he (Lt. Joseph Leavey, FDNY, a proud Irish American), too, gave his all for others. May they rest in peace and keep us close to God. Please Secretary of the Navy approve this request. Thank you.
