Requiem for a classmate

Major Megan McClung, USMC.
Ramadi, Iraq
December 6, 2006

Megan was one of the first people I met at the Naval Academy, where we were classmates in the same company. Always outgoing and boisterous, she knew she wanted to be a Marine and let nothing stand in her way. Although we parted ways at graduation and I haven’t seen her since, her passing reminds me of the sacrifices our Marines, soldiers, and sailors are making on the front lines every day.

After inspecting the guys guarding the Pearly Gates, find Erik K and give a big shout of NINETY FIVE. We’ll hear you.

Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.
