Two families of Marines who died are here. Steve Posey is among them. He’s wearing a button with a photo of his son, Lance Cpl. Gregory Posey, of Knoxville, Tenn., who was 22 years old when he died in July. His dad remembers him as a lovable prankster.
“He would loan out anything, sometimes even if it didn’t belong to him,” Posey says. “He had a good heart.”
Posey’s son loved being a Marine. That’s why the family is here.
“We had planned on being here. We’re sticking to our plan,” he says, fighting back tears. “These guys meant a lot to us, so we’re here for them.”
Touching and inspiring. Take the time to listen to it all (a little over 5 minutes).
