Moving stories of two Marines

Thank you for the Veterans Day stories of Joseph Stevenson and Jeremy Sears. Joseph's last letter to his family was so moving and Jeremy's humble attitude at being honored was wonderful.

As a mom of a Marine, I wanted to point out to the Herald that in both stories the young men were referred to as "soldiers" when in fact they are Marines.

Soldiers are in the Army and it's very important to Marines that they are identified as being Marines and not soldiers. Just thought you should know for future reference.
