I was a corpsman for 5 years, it was some of the best and worst years of my life and I’ll never forget the sailors and marines that I had the pleasure of serving with.

The following 53 Hospital Corpsmen died on the battlefield since the year 2002. This Memorial Day weekend, you and the other 965K+ heroes who never came home, are not forgotten. "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; for here today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother." Till Valhalla 🍻
