My Dad was 19 when he died. I was only 5 months old. I'm 38 now. He was a young man who wanted to prove himself. He believed in trying to help others. He had a dimple when he smiled. I have that dimple, I have his eyes and the same tilt of the head. And I have his belief in trying to make the world a better place. For everything he gifted me, I am incredibly grateful. I love you, Daddy. Semper Fi

From his daughter,
Samantha A. Clough
