Thank you very much for posting this, and please give your son my deepest thanks as well. LCpl Burgess was a very good friend of mine. We were both in MRP and in platoon 1036, Alpha Co. aboard Parris Island. He helped me get through some very rough times on the Island, and the news of his passing hit me very hard. This post definitely brought back some fond memories, and a few tears as well. I had no idea anyone on this forum even knew his name. You should be very proud of your son. I can tell from this that he will grow up to be a fine man.
