I pray for both set of parents! this was a terrible incident that happened and still can not believe that it happened. I know that he served in Iraq with the Marines. I remember John from high school and he was a sweet boy that never was out to hurt anybody. I am wondering if the war messed him up in the head??? I want to know the rest of the story about why it happened.
