Livin and Lovin as a Kenoshan!

Its all over the local news services and the minds of the locals.
Its a horrible loss that we all except, but still feel deeply moved by.
That loss is of a young man, the best of the best, the few, the proud, a Marine.
Being a former marine I cant help but feel the loss of a brother, that i have never even met. now i have no chance of ever meeting him, well not anytime soon. I know where he went, its just going to be a while before i join him there( if I'm lucky that is).
before I read this article: Full article here
I had already realized a unexplainable bond to this man that only another marine could understand, But after reading the article, I now realized that he was a part of a large local group of Christians that i also belong to. now my sense of loss is even greater, how close had i come to crossing paths with this young marine? how close could you possibly be without actually making a contribution to each others lives? once again, it is obvious that our churches are way to big. how could i have spent 5yrs in that church and not even know him or his family? yes aether I'm blind or our churches are way to big.

well one thing is for sure he most definitely was a brother, in arms,or in Christ, the loss is the same. what else is there to say about it but:

Semper Fi
