in memoriam: Lance Corporal Christopher Cosgrove (1983-2006)

it's crazy to think that it's been 5 years since he passed away... and every year since then, i always start october by remembering him.  i'm not going to try to act like i knew him well, but from what i do know, is that he was a good man and a good Marine.  he was one of the first Marines to show me around the unit after i checked-in from SOI.  super-motivated to get the job done in iraq, pumped to get married when he got back from deployment, and super inquisitive in securing a civilian job thereafter- that is the man i will always remember.

he was the 61st service member that died in support of OEF & OIF from nj and he sure wasn't the last- as our men & women continue to give their all over there.  it's because of them i stay humble and keep inspired to do my best in spreading awareness about military charities and other good causes in general.

rest in peace bud & from the bottom of my heart, thanks for everything.
