Rest in peace, Marine. Thank you for your service. What your platoon brothers did for your son is amazing.

Semper Fi ! Once a marine, I was a marine. When one falls he he goes to regroup with his brothers. His brothers that are still here regroup with his son. Got a love it!

THIS right here, this is brotherhood. It didn't matter that they possibly hadn't seen each other in 15-20 years, those men were his brothers, and now their are his son's brothers. Semper Fi Marines o7

I make a point to see at least one of my boys every year in person (have exceeded that goal every time). Phones have made it easy for my generation; I always think about how tough that must have been for the Marines who came before. I can't imagine going through WW1, WW2, or Vietnam with someone then losing contact as life takes its turns.

Sorry for your loss. As soldiers, all we think about when doing work is family. There's nothing better than family. As you can see from the video. He had 4 uncles, making sure that he was supported. You become family when you serve together, and it goes well beyond the military. Congrats....I'll bet you'll make one hellava marine🫡

About 50 years ago I went to a Navy Aviation School. About 1/3 of the class were Marines and the camaraderie between them was on a higher level than the sailors. I used to run 3 miles by myself on Saturdays for fun and sometimes would pass them as they ran in their group as they were required to do it. They invited me to run with them after seeing me a few weeks by myself. They called me their Swabby Brother.

My father's father died while my dad was in USMC boot camp in 1943. When my dad passed away in the 90s, guys who served in the Marines with my dad in the Pacific came to his viewing and funeral to share with me what an amazing guy my dad was, what a great buddy, a great Marine who risked his life for his brothers in the Corps though he was only 18 at the time. It meant so much to me. Once a Marine, always a Marine. I know my dad was smiling down and that it meant a lot to him, too. Semper Fi dad. ❤

"We few... we happy, happy few. We band of brothers... For he that sheds his blood with me this day shall be my brother, be he ne'er so vile. This day shall gentle his condition. And gentlemen now abed in England today shall think themselves accursed they were not here. And they shall hold their manhood cheap, whilst any speaks that fought with us upon this St. Crispin's Day!" -- Wm. Shakespeare, 'Henry V' Act IV, Scene III I hope the entire Enderle family will accept the regrets and condolences of an old US Army cavalryman. A respectful tip of the Stetson on your loss. And Jake, some advice: 1. Head on swivel. Stay alert and stay alive. 2. Listen to your NCOs. They know shit. 3. And don't get married until you hit E6. Trust me on that one... 😉
