Amazing Marines

So today I get a text from my husband because he can send me messages from his email and it says "hey babe, are you by a computer? I want to show you something." So I jumped onto Yahoo Messenger and pulled up the webcam and this patch is what he was showing me through it. These are patches they can wear on their flight suits while over in country. This one says BMV (Bodee Mark Vierig) "My Hero"...two of his Marines, who are now two of my most favorite people in the whole world, had gone to the tailor (yes they have tailors now in Iraq) and had these patches made to surprise Mark. Each of them have one now and they were apparently wearing them today. It brought me to tears to see these. These guys were also part of a group that was so supportive of Mark and I and our entire family while Bodee was in the hospital. They will never know what it means to Mark and I that they would make something like this in honor of our little CDH Superhero!
From left to right in the following pic is Lcpl Dennis, Mark & Cpl Pierce. Thank you so much guys for being so supportive of our family and for doing this! I love that the turquoise is being worn even over in Iraq.

It is so great to see how great the Marine's Mark is serving with are! (I knew it in my heart this is just confirmation.) It proves hero's always stick together small or large. You guys are the hero today in my eyes. I think we all can learn from your example. The possibilities are endless to help spread the word about CDH.

Hi Kristen,
wow, that's so nice! It really brought tears to my eyes. We are thinking about you and are praying that Mark will continue to be safe in Irak.
Hugs from the UK.
