Hwy 29, Cantonment, FL has been entrusted with arrangements. You may express your condolences online at www.fcfhs.com Ask Me What I Was I’ll reply with what I’ve done. Those things others would not do, I did; Those rivers others would not swim, I swam; Those hills others would not climb, I conquered; Those bridges others would not cross, I crossed; I have celebrated. I have mourned. I have smiled and I have frowned. I have seen death and felt its warm breath. It did not faze me, For I was different. I was a warrior. You ask me what I was? It was my destiny, Until my last breath, To be a United States Marine. And my spirit shall live forever. Semper Fidelis For I was, am and shall forever be a “United States Marine”
