Re: I'd appreciate it if...
Those men will live on in many ways, but the most important and most lasting is with their fellow Soldiers. You men will always hold them in your hearts and minds, and you will never forget. The key, I think, is to share their memory.
One thing that we always do, whether formal or informal, is to gather on the Marine Corps Birthday (but it can be any day), raise a toast, say the names out loud, and then spend the evening remembering, telling stories, and reminiscing. Sometimes, it's with 50 or 60 other men, sometimes it's with only one or two, and sometimes, it's by myself.
Carry on, brother... there is no greater burden, nor a more important one.
