IowaEmt1991 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Idk how to describe this...Makes me love serving that much more The night before the burial of her husband 2nd Lt. James Cathey of the United States Marine Corps, killed in Iraq, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time. The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of "Cat", and one of the Marines asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept. "I think it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it" she said. "I think that's what he would have wanted". -Not sure what is more honorable: Being married to this faithful wife to the end or the Marine standing next to the casket watching over them both."-anonymous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frid Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Saw the same thing on facebook today. It's stuff like this that defines our country and my fellow service members as well as the people who stand with our flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
