Please Lite A Candle
I would like to ask that you please join me in lighting a candle for Lance Cpl. Eric A. Palmisano and Petty Officer 3rd Class Marcques J. Nettles. A Marine and Sailor that remain in missing status from an incident in Iraq last week. I will keep my candle lit until both are found. Whether you light the candle at home or in your house of worship. Please help me tell these two families, in our own quiet way, that they are in our thoughts and prayers until LCpl Palmisano and Petty Officer 3rd Class Nettles are found.

They are in my prayers. I hope that they are found safe and sound.
That must have been one hell of a flood. Marines are at home in the water. It's one thing to go down in a fight, it's another to go down in an accident. I say a prayer for any Marine who has died. Just remeber this, Marines stand guard duty in heaven, who else would god trust?
They will not be forgotten.
