The is very moving material. My only comment is that I had trouble hearing it. I had the volume maxed and still had trouble hearing the voices.
Can you turn up the basic volume?

My son is currently serving his 2nd deployment in Iraq with SSgt.Eric Kocher. They are with 2nd Recon Bn., Bravo Co., 1st Plt. My son has much respect for SSgt. Kocher and is proud to serve with him. As a mother I’m thankful for a Marine like Eric Kocher for my son to serve under.
