Ever look on Heaven's scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines."

Cpl. Brock was a memorable person and a fine Marine who served his country and his Corps with honor, courage and bravery. Even though I witnessed the death of too many Marines, I will always remember his final moments as well as his final words. Semper Fidelis, Brother!
