Betsy Judge wrote: It was wonderful reading all the traffic between the Birthday and Veteran’s Day and reconnecting with so many of you. When Joe pointed out this photo in our Wall Street Journal this a.m., I thought of how lucky we are to be alive and how many other Marines have paid the price for us.

I did not know Megan very well, but learned she was one hell of a Marine. May she and all others rest in peace.
