From Catherine M 10/17/07:
My brother was Edward Garvin and he is and will forever be my hero. He
was an easy going kid that everyone loved. He could make anyone laugh --he was just plain
silly. I respected his decision to be a marine even though i didn't agree. He
said that he had to go so that someone else could have more time with their
family. I wish we had more time with him/her had so many plans for the future) but
if that isn't a real man i don't know what one is.
