Marines and sailors from 2nd Marine Division, listen to remarks from Lt. Col. Patrick J. Keane (not pictured), commanding officer of 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion during a memorial service honoring Marines and sailors from 2nd LAR Bn. who have died in combat since 1989. For those closest to our fallen destroyers, the tears will never totally fade, Keane said. I believe it's our obligation to them, whether we knew them well or didn't know them at all, to think of them with smiling faces, to honor their commitment to each other and ensure that our conduct reflects our honor to them; and as importantly, to live every moment of our lives mindful that theirs were cut all too short.
