When my husband passed away the funeral director told me he could have a military funeral. So they called to find a Marine to stand by his coffin and present the flag to me. Only they could not find a Marine qualified in this area. I told them to call the Marine recruiters office in Paris and tell them Joseph was in the Chosin Reservoir. I knew the men who survived that battle were greatly honored by the Marines. Joseph was one of 23 that survived in his unit. In fact, when a Marine Capt. met him several years before and found he had been in that battle, he introduced him as a "living legend." That day in the recruiters office there just happened to be a young Marine on leave on his way to Louisana. He heard the phone conversation and said, "I will stay over and do this." The next day that young man stood at attention beside my husbands casket, then presented me with a medal that had just been awarded Marines who served in Korea by the Korean govenment. he had been taking it to an uncle in La....but he gave it to me. When I thanked him after the funeral for what he had done. "He said, "Mam, it was my privilege! We take care of our own!"Then he said, I have never been to a funeral like this in my life, I was blessed!" My whole family was touched by this young man kindness and the story has become a "legend" in my family. I wish I could see him again to tell him how much it meant to us. ...thanks for the story....The Marines I have met in my lifetime are like that. Oh yes, they are also hard drinkers and cuss....but the ones I have known are honorable...My husband once said to church, he wished the church would become like Marines....and learn to bond together and watch each others back....
