Phil
was a very special young man. He loved his family. He was a
loyal friend. He always put the needs of others before his
own.
On September 11,
2001, after watching a plane hit the World Trade Center and
then watching as the first tower collapsed, he resolved to
do something to protect his country and those he loved. He
had just begun his senior year in high school.
Phil enlisted in
the United States Marine Corps in November 2002. On the day
he graduated Boot Camp at MCRD in San Diego, as he
introduced us to his fellow graduates, he explained that
because these were his brothers, they were now our sons.
Phil honored us
by the way he lived his life and by the way he gave his
life. To serve Phil's brothers and sisters, to honor his
memory and continue his caring sprit, we have begun The
Heart of a Marine Foundation.
God bless and
Semper Family
