My honor as a United States Marine makes me proud that I worked for Civilian Identification Lab when it was at Barbers Point and it was one of the most gratifying places I worked and the most emotional one. I will forever remember my time going through those files and crying so much as a tough Marine. But I also felt gratitude and solemn that these brave men fought for the country with honor. God Bless these brave men and God Bless all those who have sacrificed so much.
