Fallen Marine left touching video diary

Nov. 16: The parents of a U.S. Marine killed in action share the video diary that they didn't know existed until after his death.

It was decent of the parents to share portions of the video with the rest of the world (so to speak). This young marine's day to day account of the life in hostile territory speaks a lot. After his heroics he post posthumously awarded the silver star and purple heart.

I can see future diaries being made because of this young man's candor in sharing his day to day life.

Thank you for linking us to that, Caver, even tho at the moment, after watching it, I'm not quite sure what I think about the media exploiting such a 'document' for ratings (or bracketing the piece with adverts).
