Thank you for your service to our great country my brother. Semper Fi.

Dear Cpl Dennis Casey,
Thank yo for your service as an Intelligence Specialist. It is important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

I never knew Dennis Casey, but I was a member of the same DeMolay chapter that he was (that was named in his honor) and remember being struck by the sacrifice he made for his fellow citizens by willingly sacrificing his future hopes and dreams for them at such a young age. His black and white photo seemed to speak to me to say that we had a duty to something bigger than ourselves. I served 8 years as a Marine including the Gulf War. Dennis L. Casey had an impact on me even in death. May he rest in peace. Semper Fi!

I will never forget you my friend.
