Frances was just in tears and not able to say much. We will determine how we can be of help in the long term, and make the appropriate recommendations to the MCL membership. We will certainly need strength in numbers for any memorial service. Please allow me to again suggest that all of us, in each of our communities, identify any MCL member or families affected by this tragic attack. We need to rally around them with support.
Marines take care of their own.
The six thousand or so people who attended the candle light vigil was a heart warming sight. Sadly, many of them will have gone home to go about their lives. That's not a criticism, it is just a fact of life. Marines must stick around for the long run. Thanks for listening.
