Beans Returns Home With Brook Park Marines
NewsNet5
The loyal sidekick that helped the Brook Park Marines get through some tough times while in Iraq is on her way home to northeast Ohio.
Beans the dog spent the night in the barracks with her friends from the 3rd Battalion 25th Marines at Camp Lejeune Wednesday night.
Beans got her name because she was purchased with a quarter and three jelly beans.

She nuzzled her way into the hearts of many Marines, including Jeffrey Boskovitch. He was one of more than a dozen Brook Park-based Marines who lost their lives serving our country in August.
Now Beans will be brought to Boskovitch's mother as a constant reminder of her son and his service. She wants to hug the last thing that her son hugged before he was killed in Iraq.
"I know it means so much to Mrs. Wright. I think it's an honor to pick up Beans and deliver Beans to her," Sgt. Derrick Moore said.
NewsChannel5 viewers helped raise the money to bring Beans back to Ohio.
5 On Your Side reporter Tracy Carloss is with Beans and will be traveling with Beans and her escort.
