Honor for a Fallen Hero

On a hot July afternoon many gathered to pay tribute to a Fallen Hero.

Marine Lance Cpl. Steven Szwydek was killed in action near Nasser Wa Salamm Iraq during October of 2005.

On this day a bronze memorial was dedicated in his memory. This photograph was taken during the dedication prayer at the statute. A very touching moment at a dedication honoring a young life cut short at the tender age of only twenty.
