My sincere condolences to the Hirlston Family. So sorry to read of your loss, I pray God will comfort your family and family friends during this time.
I've read two very touching media stories about Lance Cpl. James D. ( " J.D.") Hirlston, he was dedicated to all he did. J.D. was dedicated to the Lord, his family, the United States of America. He gave his life protecting what he loved.
God bless you J.D. for what you have done for each of us.
I have contacted the Marine CACO. I am waiting for a return call. I will post as I learn the family wishes. |
