These two Marines went to high school together were on their high school wrestling team together as well as joining our Corps on the buddy plan. So it is no surprise that they would die together in combat. They gave the last full measure of devotion to their Corps and country for our freedom. God speed and smooth breezes my brothers. I will join you at the gates one day.
