"My Gift To You"
Shortly after September 11, David Fribley, bound for boot camp, wrote his friends in Indiana. He called his decision to join the Marines "my gift to you" and an opportunity to "honor you and my fellow countrymen ..." David then promised his friends, "With all the strength of my fellow Marines, we shall always provide you with the comforting feeling of safety that you have each day.”
Lance Cpl. David Fribley kept his promise. And his friends now honor him. The
Times-Union (via Drudge) has the details.
