Marines
die, that's what we're here for. But the Marine Corps lives forever. And that means YOU live forever.
the
mythical GySgt. Hartman, USMC; portrayed by GySgt. R. Lee Ermey, a Marine Corps Drill Instructor using his own choice of words
in Full Metal Jacket, 1987
LCPL Jonathan W. Collins, proud member of the 1st Marine Division,
2nd Battalion, 4th Marines, gunner for Fox Company 2nd platoon, lost his life on August 8, 2004 while serving his country
in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Jonathan, at the young age of 19, went to Iraq proud of what his unit was trying to accomplish and truly believed
they could help the Iraqi people. He was always point man for his platoon because of his easygoing gentle nature. Especially,
he loved the Iraqi children trying to reach out to them in friendship and change their understanding of Americans. Jonathan
was a courageous and determined young man. He was quick to give a smile and a kind word. He left this world a hero.
