 The Department of the Navy, and the City of Chattanooga, Tennessee, held a memorial in memory of the four Marines and Sailor, killed at the Navy Operational Support Center shooting July 16th. The service members were honored with military traditions, and Vice President Joe Biden spoke about the devotion each service member had to their country. I didn't have the privilege of knowing any one of them personally, but oh, I knew them. Confident, committed, determined, trustworthy, passionate, and always, always loyal. I knew them. They were my son, and so many other sons I know. The ceremony closed with eco-taps as a final solemn salute. To watch the ceremony, visit navy.new.
