Lois Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Marine Cp Joseph McCarthy was killed in Fallujah, Iraq on labor day ... one of seven Marines killed by a car bomber. Joey was 21 years old and left a young wife, mother, father,and two sisters. His family is devestated, his friends are devestated and our whole community is devestated. I have tried to post this several times but tears and heart ache keep getting in the way. I watched this young man grow up, graduate, become a marine and marry his high school sweetheart. The last thing I watched was his flag draped coffin being carried thru our town on a horse drawn wagon. Quote Link to comment

We can not make sense of any of it.....This I do know, I am forever grateful and so very proud of our troops of men and women of the armed forces. God bless them and bring them all safely home.
