Cpl. Jonathan Yale

My husband's cousin, so that makes him mine, was a United States Marine. He was fighting in Iraq when he was killed by a roadside bombing on April 22, 2008. He was 21 years old. On Friday, February 20, 2009, he was awarded the Navy Cross. His mother and sister were there for sure, in memory of their hero! He was a good guy, and a better Marine. He loved the corps, and he loved our country. He and another soldier died to save many. For more details you can read this article that I found that covers about everything: http://www.marines.mil/units/marforcom/iimef/2ndmardiv/Pages/FallenMarinesawardedNavyCross.aspx
Here is a local news station covering the story... http://news14.com/content/local_news/coastal/605344/lejeune-marines-honored-with-navy-cross/Default.aspx
That will give you the whole story about Jonathan and Jordan's last minutes on this earth. God Bless our military, those that have served, are serving or will serve! Sempre Fi.
