Fallen Marines mourned
Marine Lance Cpl. Juan Servin will don his camouflage uniform, pack his bags, pick up a rifle and sidearm and head to Afghanistan's frozen battlefields early next year.
But on Friday, Servin was in his dress blue uniform, escorting and comforting his mother and other relatives at a ceremony for his older brother, Cpl. Anthony Servin, who died in combat in Afghanistan on June 8.
"Anything he did, I did ---- or wanted to do," Servin said of his late brother, one of four troops from Camp Pendleton's 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment whose service was saluted in a hilltop memorial Friday morning.
The other Marines killed during the battalion's recent seven-month deployment were Sgt. Wade Wilson, Cpl. Alex Martinez and Lance Cpl. Joshua Witsman.
