I just thought that I would post a couple of pictures and links in memory of my son Jordan
We were first driven about 50 miles by the Sag Harbor PD to Yaphank NY where we met these Suffolk County Police who first escorted us to the Goethels Bridge in NYC (50 miles) to meet the motorcade and then led the motorcade the 100 or so miles back to Sag Harbor. At one point there were 15 or 16 of them.
New York State Troopers, Nassau County Police, Suffolk County Police, Sherrifs, and DEC officers lining up on the border to Nassau/Suffolk in honor of Jordan. The police behind us had closed the Parkway with a rolling road block to accommodate us and then they all joined in with the motorcade after we passed. If you look closely you can see people lining the bridge. They were either saluting or had their hands over their hearts. It was like that the entire way.
Fire Departments along the 100 mile route lined the roads and flew the flag.
A flag at half staff at his high school
Tributes to him about town. 19 flags....19 for his age and 19 symbolizing 1st Battalion, 9th Marines.
This is a link to an article I just got today that tells of what occurred with pictures and quotes from guys that were there with him. The picture of him that is posted is one I had never seen before. His head was shaved by Marines who had already been deployed...a tradition I guess.
Fearless Marines
