Super Dave:
I've never lived in Texas. I visited an uncle there, but never resided in the Great State of. The nearest one to my locale is LCpl. Torrey L. Gray, from Patoka, ILL. I live in a suburb of Detroit, MI.

Its not important where they were from, ...they were both Marines, and we are lessened by their loss.
