I just read in our local paper about a young marine who recently passed away. It mentioned that he had a special love for his corvette. His name was Kevin E. Rodrick. He was 31. He had recently served in Iraq. His hometown was Waterford, WI. I did not not this young man, but as with all service men and women, we owe him our utmost respect. The fact the was a corvette guy makes it more than appropriate for us on this forum to offer our respects here.
I wish his family comfort and they are in my prayers. As for Kevin, you are home, rest in peace. tdb
Kevin was a good friend of mine and i served with him in Iraq. He did love his corvette very much. He was a stellar Marine and a great guy. He will be missed.
I would just like to say thank you to everybody! I was having a rather sad day and googles Kevin's name and this site popped up. I'd just like to say how wonderful it is to know that he is still being missed and most of how much he was loved and respected. I miss him dearly and he was such a wonderful person/man/marine.
Marine, you held proud the tradition, honor, duty, of the Corps and your country!
Thank you!

The Marine Corps Prayer
Almighty Father, whose command is over all and whose love never fails, make me aware of thy presence and obedient to thy will.
Keep me true to my best self, guarding me against dishonesty in purpose and deed and helping me to live so that I can face my fellow Marines, my loved ones, and Thee without shame or fear. Protect my family. Give me the will to do the work of a Marine and to accept my share of responsibilities with vigor and enthusiasm. Grant me the courage to proficient in my daily performance. Keep me loyal and faithful to my superiors and to the duties my country and the Marine Corps have entrusted to me. Make me considerate to those committed to my leadership. Help me to wear my uniform with dignity, and let it remind me daily of the traditions which I must uphold.
If I am inclined to doubt, steady my faith; if I am temped, make me strong to resist; if I should miss the mark, give me courage to try again.
Guide me with the light of truth and grant me wisdom by which I may understand the answer to my prayer
