Marine killed in NYC during Fleet Week Celebration.
So sad I am almost in tears this morning. I just saw on our NBC newscast that a Marine who was here with his unit for the Fleet Week Celebration was accidently hit by a car today & died. The driver was apparently not intoxicated & did stop, apparently when( he/she) realized what happened, called 911, & waited at the scene. I just really want to sit down & cry for his Family & Friends.
Sadly many combat vets have died while back in stateside; whether it was a DUI accident, speeding, drive-by killing, PTSD related, etc. Now this.
Here is the article.
Marine Steve Jorgenson survives in Afghanistan, killed by car on 1st night in NYC for Fleet Week
Since I been on active duty, I havent had the chance to experience fleet week back home. I will be there for the 10th year anniversary of 9/11 and will pay my respects at ground zero.
